Thank you for sharing your knowlege.
I conclude that this kris is a kris patrem.
So should be the following one, if I can say :
Kris patrem Palembang, blade of 17.5 cm, handle of 7 cm.
I had to forge a ganja, as it had none, to make the sarong, the original was completely broken and remake a simple mendak. My work can be severely criticized, but is was the only way for me to include it in my panoply of small east Asian weapons.
