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!

Thank you for the warm welcome my friends.

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

Sorry nechesh ..........

Ernesto , this is an earlier kris than the one shown in the ebay auction .

No , these swords were not mass produced ; each one is an individual work of art ; no two are exactly the same and they were produced by hand in very primitive forges compared to European shops .

A forum search using the word kris will provide further information.
