I think we all dream of running across such a nice grouping. Was it formed by a collector as the quality of the grouping is top notch?

Thanks for the drink, Rick.
NO! No Pacific war.
RSWORD, all I know is the collection came from a gentleman who lived in Seattle, that had passed away, his relatives gave his collection away, and I got it from a broker. There were a lot of Span-Am veterans that came back from the Philippines,to Fort Lewis, south of Seattle. A large amount of sandata's were brought back. Burke Museum has a good collection of Filipino and Moro weapons. Ft. Lewis donated most of them. Sadly it's tucked away in the basement. They rather display Native American basketry. I have nothing against baskets, but it would be nice to display some edged weapons.
Thanks all.
More photos.....

1 of the twist core Kris have a swirly pattern on one side and linear on the other. The Jungayan Kris' is broken at the tang, which is still in the hilt.
