Cannonmn , I hope you stick around this place ; I think you're a good addition to the crew (and we don't mind talking about cannons either).
I believe your kris to be fairly recent ; say less than 80 tears old ; that's just my opinion though . There is a lot of good workmanship in your blade and I wonder if it wasn't meant for local use rather than for sale to foreigners .
One thing I find interesting is the top of the gangya area on your blade ; it looks like a relatively straight line whereas most of the pieces I have seen have a sweep or curve to them .
Check out that separate gangya pic I posted in the other thread and you'll see the difference .
Does anyone want to suggest a tribal attribution for Cannonmn's kris ?
Do you think you'd consider etching it to bring out any pattern that might be there ?
