I BID ON THIS ITEM BUT IT DIDN'T GO HIGHER BECAUSE OF THE SELLERS POOR PICTURE. I WOULD HAVE BID HIGHER IF I HAD BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE FILEWORK AND HANDLE. THIS IS A GOOD OLD UNTOUCHED MORO FIGHTING KRIS SWORD IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE A PATTERENED BLADE BUT THE WORKMANSHIP IS GOOD AND I SUSPECT IT IS A FOLDED HAND FORGED BLADE WITH VERY SHARP EDGES EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. IT MAY BE FROM MINDANO ISLAND PHILLIPPINES OR BORNEO, BRUNI OR EVEN MALAYSIA THE MORO WERE PRESENT OR TRAVELED IN ALL AREAS.
THE FILEWORK IS DIFFERENT FROM ANY I HAVE SEEN AND VERY WELL DONE LOOKS A LOT LIKE MALAY WORK SOMEONE GOT A GOOD BUY ON THIS ONE WISH IT HAD BEEN ME.
