Thumbs up

Hello Algelan,

Quote:
I won a couple of kris swords November last year
I had been wondering who snapped them up - congrats!


Quote:
The first one is a Sulu (?) kris with an atypical-shaped, laminated blade
Quite small blade for this type; I wouldn't rule out Mindanao though...


Quote:
The second one is a Borneo kris (according to auction site)
I especially like the pommel!


Both pieces appear to originate from the 19th century IMHO. More pics would be more than welcome for verification and gaining additional insights!

Regards,
Kai
