<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 211706, member: 54"]I used to collect those but not very seriously. It looks like someone has used steel wool on the Moro Kris and maybe the other one too, which may not hurt them terribly in trying to sell them because neither are particularly rare collector's items, they are among the more common forms of Ethnographic weapons. If you want the nth degree of info you might post on the ethno weapons pages of the Vikingsword site. Cleaning the metal of old weapons generally isn't a good idea, many collectors prefer the "attic-found" look and get an immediate turnoff from any cleaning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
