This kris is of Malay work/origin in hilt. Seen these from this region before and may be Moro influenced long ago. Not what I would consider Moro itself however, except perhaps the blade from what I can see (Sulu blade?). Sulu had many contacts and even settlements in the region at one time.

Very beautiful piece. I like the silver work. Nice horn - is it rhino?
