kris needs information

Hello friends,

My father recently bought this kris.

Sulu? Maguindanao, etc?

Any inputs/info is highly appreciated.

Regards

Yves

Hi Yves,

A wide and heavy-bladed form from the late 19th/early 20th C. More commonly seen with kris from Mindanao at that time, but also from Sulu occasionally. Not much to go by here, but if pushed I would favor the odds and go with Maguindanao. Usually the hilt or scabbard offer some clue, but not in this case.

Sorry, I don't have a good answer for you.

Ian
