Michael, beautiful kris!
Seeing the pictures of your first post (2nd & 4th pict) with all that 'sogokan' work, I believe personally from the beginning that it has saperate ganya. Everybody here seems to has the same impression with that pictures.
Anyway, the smaller pommel might be the answer to the length of gripping area. That measure plus the small pommel support will fit well to my asian hands. I'll be delighted to keep the kris if that does not fit to your hands
