This is another old one from the permenant collection. It has a very narrow blade and a wierd ganya?

I sure like this kris, Lew!

Please let us know dimensions and also post a close-up of the gangya area!

This is a fairly old example - Cato might place it into the first half of the 19th century. Others feel that his estimates are too conservative...

The blade proportions seem quite typical for that period, too.
