MARANAO KRIS?

I would say close. This might in fact be Maguindanao based on the ganga, hilt, and scabbard top.

Hi Sir,

Is the 'design' on the blade itself damascus? or something else?

Many thanks,

Yves

Hi Yves,

The hilt and scabbard look post WWII, maybe 1960-1970s. Most likely a Maranao blade IMHO. The dress looks Maranao also.

The blade has linear lamination, which is common on kris of a certain era.
