Hi All,
I came across a makers mark that I don't recognize. With the permission of the owner I'm posting it here to see if anyone else has seen this one before.
Thanks!

An old Kris Cutlery piece? I don't remember seeing any of their pieces with a mark like that, but the kris blade as part of the K is a match, anyway. Maybe it's something they used to do. Can we see the rest of it? That may help.
Pax,

Sam, I think you nailed it. Thank you! With the lead you gave me I did some searching and the sword in question appears to be an early Kris Cutlery Teitonic hand-and-a-half sword.
