Philippine Kris or Keris

[aerosick]

Hello from a new Member. I got this Kris at an auction here in the USA that had museum artifacts for sale. I'm trying to get the museum's contact information and see if they have the background history records of this Kris. I only have the 2 photos from the auction, but I will be getting more when the Kris arrives at my house.

All comments will be well appreciated. Any thoughts as to the age and area of origin?

Philippine Kris

22" serpentine blade with traditional notched carving at base. Wire-wrapped wooden grip with engraved copper ferrules. Nickel-plated steel pommel. Wooden scabbard with rawhide wraps. Museum inventory numbers painted on throat of scabbard.

Condition: Good. Showing wear and age patina overall.

Thanks,

Billy
