Ok some of the remaining engraving can be worked and replace the inlay. Areas where the grinder took out the engraved areas - no hope.
Sorry for the mixed news.....

Have received some pictures from Jose, he have finished the work at the handle. He is sure that this kris coming from Tawi-Tawi based on research he have done. Here two pictures of the excellent work he have done.
Now he want to replace the missing inlays and the kris will get a scabbard as well. |

Yes my opinion has changed since I have done more research. I now think this whole thing is from Tawi-Tawi island in the Sulu region.
