ago there was a sword on ebay but was not sure if its Chinese, but the price
went up high. ebay #7 4 0 5 4 7 8 0 8 6, can someone tell me what this is and why it came out high.

Gracias,

Hi Ernesto

Welcome to the forum. The sword in question is an excellent ivory hilted Moro Datu (Chief's) kris from the Philippines. We do not discuss prices on the forum but all I can say is that is one the the nicest ones I have seen in a while. You did good.

Ernesto Ibeam was just joking around.

For you it was an unkown sword but to the rest of the Moro sword collectors it was a very familiar sword.

Hi Ernesto,

I think Ibeam may have meant that for those with an interest in Moro weapons, that piece was an outstanding example that many of us were watching. Welcome to the forum!

Welcome, Ernesto. I guess the answer to your question is that it is an outstanding example of its type. I am not hearing that the price went "too high," so that says something about its value I'd say.

Hi Mark,

Excuse my ignorance,but are this swords/kris mass produced, I mean this particular one? if not much to ask, or any previous threads.

I hope the owner wouldnt' mind sharing a close up pictures of the handle
or does any one have similar copy to share.

Thank you,
Ernesto
