You know. I've looked a few times at that blade in the wrongko.
To me, it looks OK.
Yeah, the curve of the top of the wrongko and the curve of the gonjo are different, but the buntut urang and the sirah cecak are mated to the line of the wood; yeah, there seems to be a bit of sloppiness around the edge of the gonjo, but you get this anyway with an old original wrongko.
From what I can see---only from what I can see-- I would not be prepared to say this wrongko was not original to the blade.
