Default Twistcore Moro Kris with beautiful sheath

Just ended on ebay. Did anyone on here win this? I was outbid and am green with envy towards its new owner, whomever they may be. Beautiful piece.

Very well-shaped blade and beautiful despite the missing ganja.

The sheath is sublime as well. Does anyone know how old or recent the sheath is in relation to the blade? Looks like a fairly old style sheath, but did these last very long to have been original to the blade?

Once a beautiful kris, no doubt. Must admit that regardless of the beauty of what is left i would personally not go for such an incomplete item as this, but i can understand the allure to some.
I agree that the sheath does appear to have more age than many Moro kris sheaths that we see.
