Hi Michael:
Nice kris you have there. Probably from the Maguindanao people on the island of Mindanao, and made at the end of the 19th C. or early 20th C. Ian |

Thanks for the info. It appears it was dark at one point, but doesn't appear it was etched, just darkened with age. What is the proper finish? |

Hello Michael,
nice Kris, I agree with Ian about age and origin. And good repair at the pommel!  I would polish the blade and give it an etch with vinegar. Regards, Detlef |
