I appreciate the information, but this Kris wasn't on ebay,I got it on a phone bid @ Jones auction in Pa. with some other blades.You are correct, in that I think there may be some insect damage/broken elements in the handle and /or it has been recarved.The scabbard seems to be intact. I didn't take very good pictures of the Kris, so I can see why someone could mistake it for a similar one.
Thanks again for the information!
