What a haul. Congrats.
Where’s the Kris with the Garuda(?) hilt.
He must’ve placed those ray skins on the handles.

Congratulations. I saw that auction, but no money to bid. I love not only the krises but also the Tagalog piece with the carved horn and horn/silver scabbard (I was going to go for that one

).

Also great to have provenance!

Would you be able to post the weapons pictures individually here?

Yes will post individual pics of the pieces once I get them cleaned up a bit.
