Agree with much of what has been said above. The blade is much more like a long gunong than a kris, and a thin metal guard is a common feature on gunong. The blade features and the luk created by stock removal have been described already. As Battara noted, it is probably from the mid- to late-20th C.
The MOP inserts on the scabbard suggest it was made in Zamboanga or Basilan, and such decorations were common on items made for sale to tourists. However, I don't think this is a tourist piece. |
