Awesome find Battara, and on this one I see no indication that the pommel is made in two parts, unless it is cut horizontally and the cut is hidden by the silver ring.
I would assume as well that the silver wire woven grip allows us to attribute this one to at least a low ranking noble. Thanks for this contribution to the thread! |

There’s a photo of Datu Kalun sporting a kris with an impressive ball pommel. I’ve seen the photo in one of the threads.
This notable photo of a guard house in Sulu has a ball pommeled kris. It could be Datu Kalun’s, but I believe his had a braided silver wire wrap. |

Here’s the extent of my kris’ with ball pommel.
Obviously someone has cornered all the ivory ones. |

Come-on guys, leave a few of those kris for us mere mortals!
  BTW, Albert, you seem to have grabbed the one already shown by Jose - what's its blade length? Regards, Kai |
