Very nice Kris, the silver and the (ebony?) pommel match perfectly
 Howland published an article about the philippine insurrection. If you can find a copy this would make a nice addition to the kris. Howland, Charles R. "The Philippine Insurrection of 1899: A Study." Infantry Journal XXX (Apr 1927): pp. 395-406. Per. Best Regards, Thilo |
