Welcome to the forum, Kisuke!

Could you please post sharp pics of the base of the blade from both sides? I'd guess that this isn't a really old blade: possibly early 20th century?

Seems like a genuine, hand-forged piece though - good start of a Moro kris collection!

BTW, what's the length of the blade without hilt?

Regards,
Kai

The only thing that throws me is the hilt - it is a barong hilt, not a kris hilt....(still looking over the pictures).
