Alan - thank you for the kind words...

Nonoy & Rick, I agree with you both (and thank you Nonoy)... The one thing I would add is that I really don't consider myself an owner of any of these, or any other antiques - including edged weapons - I am lucky to have, but rather the temporary custodian of these objects, entrusted with their care and preservation for what brief time they happen to be in my possession. Rick, I apologize for the lengthy digression, and will return my focus to the weapons at hand.

Speaking of which, I received pictures of the other kris yesterday, the one that got away. All I can say is !!

Regards,

Chris

Chris, this is not my forum to moderate .

My suggestion was that we could become mired in discussion of who should be the heirs of these disparate swords from multiple tribes/cultures .

This is, IMO not productive nor germain .

Oh, and please share any pictures .
