Moro kris for comment

Hello Ray,

Thanks for showing your latest beauty! I agree it seems to be late 19th century or around the turn of the century.

All "twistcore" Moro kris I've seen exhibit no real twist core: They have the twisted bars sandwiched on top of the central steel core (independently on each side of the blade); BTW, this 3-layer construction is also typical for keris from other regions with this pamor.

Regards,
Kai
