No worries Groza.
This kind of pommel is fairly common for this type of kris. I had one of these for a while, but sold it a few years back. |

Thanks! Philippino blades is not my area of expertise. Is this sword from Mindanao? And is dating it to late 1800/early 1900-s correct?

It is from the Maguindanao tribe on the east coast of Mindanao. I would also say early 1900s. The baka-baka clamps might be silver also though they need to be cleaned or tested to be sure.
David's former example used to be mine at one time. |
