These are more recently made Moro kris, post 1940s/1950s. Possibly for local datus.

Borneo - anything is possible since there are Moros there too.....

I agree with Jose, which is why i moved this thread. No, i wouldn't call these "tourist", though i wonder if some weren't made for high-end collectors instead of datus.

The workmanship is indeed beautiful, but i would imagine these care no more than 50 yrs. old at most.
