Archaic kalis gamble

Good catch. The blade shows signs of corrosion, hopefully it's just the bad photography. The pommel looks intact which is great. Show some photos when it all cleaned up. It's still a nice sword, I would love to have it regardless.

Thank you, the corrosion and to get it to Germany are my biggest concerns!
Like said, will post pictures when it is in the hand of my family.

Man, how did I miss that one?! Great snag. I would lay odds it's not a gamble at all. In fact I would be surprised if it was not a twist core. Very good score.

Thank you Mike,

was relative new listed, so you maybe missed it! I also have the hope that it is maybe a twist core. The gamble is to get it to Germany and that the blade isn't deep pitted by corrosion but the money I have paid is worth this gamble!

Congratulations Detlef!

I also noticed it when it was posted and then it disappeared.
You are absolutely the master of convincing eBay-sellers to stop the sale and let you have it for next to nothing.

Hello Michael,

thank you! But it was a little bit different, the seller has added a "buy-it-now" option in his listing which I have noticed some hours later at the next morning (time difference) but have used it direct. And frankly said it is the only way for me to get such a piece by my limited finacial situation. And we still have to see in which condition this kris is in real by better pictures.

Regards,
Detlef

Have received some better pictures from sister and brother in law. Handle intact and blade have corrosion but not to bad. But can't see any hints that the blade is twistcore.
