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

Gentlemen, thank you for your expertise! When I was collecting, about the only thing I could tell was: "Is this one any different from the rest of the
crop?" And, if it was, and the price wasn't unreasonable, I'd usually jump. Nowadays, you aficionados know not only what island the sword came from, but which SIDE of the island! I take my hat off to you! Thanks again, Bill |

I don't know exactly but someone confirm this in this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=maguindanao Look post #16. I have done some research and have seen that they (the Maguindanao kris) come with all sort of pommel. Maybe some of our knowledge members can tell more? ![]() Here some more pictures of Mag. kris with this pommel style taken from old threads. The last two seems to be an older style. Regards, Detlef |

The very last one I would say is Maranao. Very close in style to Maguindanao and they are locally next to each other on Mindanao.
The third one may be Sulu. The top 2 are Maguindanao......... |
