Of course there is always the possibility of poor craftsmanship. The iron seems a pretty good match between the two parts in color and texture and the carving of the greneng seems equally bad in both the gonjo and the body of the keris. Not every keris is made by an expert smith. Is it not possible that the gonjo does not match well to the bottom of the wilah simply because the smith did not have the skills to do it properly.
