Need help with Kris

[chopstick_minh]

Hello everyone!

I am new here, and I recently got into collecting a few blades here and there! It's all very exciting.

I recently acquired this blade from my martial arts instructor.
I think it is a moro Kris?

He said he bought it about 40 years ago from a guy, who was a pilot and who bought it off in Mindanao (sometime during WW2?). Not much to go on.

I am quite lost as I would like to restore this blade to its former glory but I do not trust myself with treating it (some told me to just treat the blade with vinegar, and use epoxy steel (or resin) for the handle.)
The wooden scabbard could use a bit of maintenance too, and I can't help but think there are pieces missing in the blade (another asang-asang?)?

I was wondering if there is anyone who could suggest a place who does restoration. I live in Canada, so shipping to the Philippines is quite costly.

Many thanks!
