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. |

Hey Manny, i see you had a go at it.
 Ernesto, this is a beautiful example of Moro sword smithing which i'll bet any of the Moro collectors here would have loved to get his hands on. I think the price was probably about right, we just don't all have that kinda cash lying around.

Congrats indeed Panday! (drool, drool
)One might wonder just how a sword of this quality that has obviously been taken care of manages to lose it's sheath.

Nechesh, Andrew, thanks for the gratitude.
