Nice start .

Very nice krisses!

Have they sheaths?
Like the M1 with the fullers and the last one even if it not so old.

Hi Rick,

I don't think that this are all Maranao kris. The "M" staying for Moro. Try to download the picture and you will see.

I think the most are Maguindanao.

I agree with Sajen - most are Maguindanao. Interesting set.

Rick · 17th December 2011, 11:39 PM

Okay, so they are Maguindanao; I always get them confused ..

The question remains the same just change the name .
