Maranao battle kris

Hello Gustav,

nice kris with great provenance!

I have watched this auction as well and when I decided to give a offer it was sold!

Be careful by cleaning the silver ferrules at the handle, most probable they are only silver plated. About the cord bands: I would let them like this and handle them careful, I have had the same problem, look here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=11830

BTW, great pictures!

Regards,

Detlef
