Round-pommeled Moro Kris. Maguindanao?

[DaveS]

Several years ago i picked up a moro kris with a round kamagong pommel
that had been inlaid with ivory triangles and had a Spanish coin fixed to the
end of the hilt. when i showed it to Bob, he said that he had only seen one
of this type from an old picture that he had run across when he was in the
Phillipines. Since then i recall seeing one other of this kind but i can't re-
member who had it. Regardless, i think that round pommels of any kind on
a moro sword are rare.............Dave.
