Was wondering, is the pommel on this kris considered the horse hoof type or is this another type?

Ian I was going by the hilt, ganga, and scabbard, although Sulu did cross my mind due to the front section of the ganga. Ignoring the hilt for the moment, do you think Sulu?

Eddie, I would not consider this a "hoof" type pommel.

Perhaps the blade is Sulu, although it is on the heavy side, and probably older than the hilt and scabbard. The dress looks Mindanao.
