I also feel this one is older than 70 years old. I used to have a very similar kris to this that was once Federico's Moro Sword website. I have always thought this one was at least pre-WWII.

I once owned this piece, with a separate ganga, so yes I'd put it at early 1900s, and Maguindanao in origin.

Yes, i knew that. I bought it from Ron (Spunjer) many years ago and sold it 7 or 8 years ago, possibly to someone else on these forums (i can't quite remember). It really gets around.
I do remember how freakin' sharp the edge was on this blade was. It cut my palm rather deeply when i first met it as i first withdrew it from its sheath. Felt i really had to buy it at that point. LOL!
