I'm sure many of my fellow ePray watchers saw this one.

I know that for me a twisted-core ivory-pommeled "archaic" style kris is something of the Holy Grail for my Moro weapons collection. Do others find this realized price reasonable in today's market for an incomplete (no sheath) item like this in semi-rough condition (chipped pommel, hole through blade)? Can anyone explain why there would be a hole in the blade in that location? Is anyone HERE the winner of this kris?
