<p>[QUOTE="Firemandk, post: 4353217, member: 7258"]My semi-educated guess is this is a World War II era bringback: possibly older .... is that an aluminum ferrule ? the parts holding the blade also, they are separate from the blade ( I forget the actual name ) I have read that is a legit sign it is probably an older one, blade could be older than the handle , the decoration looks a lot like my punal daggers which I believe are WWII era bringbacks . My newer "Made to look old " tourist one has 1898 coins embedded and the metal work on the scabbard is reprosse , I have seen 100 of those hanging on the Moro "antiques" dealers wall in Davao. Many times the scabbards were lost or meant to be discarded in the "heat of battle" so often the scabbards are not original. [USER=33418]@TanyaG[/USER] , that's about all I got ...there are some good online sites if you search for Moro Kris sword.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
