Thank you folks.
As far as the scabbard is concerned, it is made of stained walnut. The kakatua pommel is 3 7/8 inches wide and 8 inches long from nose to tail. |

Yeah Kino you're not kidding. That is why I took the risk of getting this in bad condition - I saw a diamond in the rough.
 Also it has a plate of silver on the back of the ganga. |

Hello Jose,
wow, what a beauty! And a perfect restauration! I hope that I will own such a nice kris one day.  Am I correct that it is a Maranao blade? Regards, Detlef |

You are close. Actually I think it is the tribe next door: Maguindanao. Besides they too had junggayan pommels as well as the Sulu. |
