Those are my last adquisitions. A good kris with sheath very curious. One of them has a little ivory pommel and good blade, with wood sheath.
Another has cackatua pommel with a unusual sheath, engraved and with 2 details, a little square mirror and a pice of metal at the end of the sheath,and some part of the blade is engraved too. The 2 blades are cover with a barnish.
The another kris had been restored by a friend ( only the rattan ) and I don´t have the sheath. ( Flavio, my apologies for the delay in post this kris ).
Best regards and I wish you enjoy this pieces-
