Moro Kris on eBay

fred,

well, i'm hoping this is an exception rather than the rule. i think you hit it on the head when you said:

When it comes down to it, price is determined by the collector, and perhaps this is just the piece to fit a hole in a collection.

yoohoo, CharlesS, where are you?

Sorry guys...been in NY for a while.

So, why did I buy this Moro kriss?? Yes, the talismanic sybols were interesting, but for me it was all about one simple word: 'quality'.

With the exception of the top portion of the cockatoo hilt missing, it is of superb quality throughout. The blade is outstanding and of a more unique form. The scabbard is one of the most intricate ones I have seen, and clearly not for the "average Joe Moro".

....so it's all about quality, quality, quality.....at least for me
