I do admit it is odd that the nose break is straight across.....still not sure if it is not the original though.

the pommel on that kris is the streamlined version. compare that to the attached picture below. notice it's missing the details on the chicken's head, and also the feather ukkil that runs down the tail. here they are, side by side for comparison...

Whom ever bought it must see a whole lot more than I do.

I like it a lot, but not enough to sell my house for it (ok maybe I live in a shack

).

Perhaps it was a bidding war and the fact it was CHRISTIES that drove the price up so high.

That is about the only thing that makes sense. While it's a nice sword I do not see anything exceptional about it.

I understand. However I do like the silver dots and inlay (a sucker for precious metals as you know

).
