First Moro Kris (Straight Sulu piece)

I wouldn't argue with any of Roland's advice necessarily. I would certainly do all i could to remove the rust.
It's nice to see good lamination on what i assume is a later era kris. I would need closer examination, but your gangya does not seem to be a separate piece. A line has bee incised in the blade where that separation would have been.
The sheath is a nice example of this form. Also a later type. Looks like most if not all of the M.O.P. is intact. And i suppose the other material is tortoise shell? Nicely done.
