Hello David,
I also think that the price is very reasonable. And my understanding tell me that it is a Malay kris or a Sulu kris, would like to read what Jose think about the okir work at the ferrule. An etch will bring out the real glory of this blade.
I am unsure about the scabbard, maybe the batang is attached wrong since the blade don't fit inside complete. I asked the seller about this but get the ignorant answer that this is normal by a kris like this. Also the horn tip don't look original. But think that this will be easy restore work.
Regards,
Detlef
