A VERY NICE KRIS WITH A VERY FINE BLADE.
THE MISSING PIECE OF IVORY ON THIS TYPE POMMEL IS LIKELY SMALL AND I THINK WOULD BE MORE TROUBLE MAKING SUCH A SMALL PIECE AND REFINISHING THE ENTIRE POMMEL SO NOT WORTH DOING. IF YOU COULD FIND THE SMALL PIECE AND GLUE IT BACK IN PLACE WOULD BE GOOD BUT MAKING A NEW PIECE AND MATCHING IT WOULD LIKELY BE VERY DIFFICULT TO DO A JOB SATISFACTORILY TO YOUR TASTE. THE PERSON WHO DID THE REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR ON JOSES IVORY POMMEL COULD LIKELY DO A SATISFACTORY JOB. IF I WERE TO TRY AND DO IT I WOULD LIKELY NOT BE ABLE TO GET IT JUST AS I LIKE. I DO TEND TO BE MORE CRITICAL OF MY OWN WORK THAN OF THAT DONE BY OTHERS, HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE WHAT YOU JUST DID.
