Pretty. What does the blade's tip look like?

Carlos, can you post a picture of the whole sword when you have time. Also, what do you plan to do with the broken pommel? The crest is completely missing and I imagine that it would be a very difficult (if not impossible) repair given that the pommel is ivory. Perhaps a replacement in wood?

Yes, of course, here are the new pictures...
About pommel, I don,t know if I will repair in the future.

Beautiful kris, certainly, I think, of a certain age and despite that the ganja doesn't appear to be separate.

Of course the gangya is separate.

A good blade. I have a cousin of it, or perhaps maybe even brother.

milandro · Today, 06:17 PM

I cannot see any seem of separation

Beautiful blade Carlos and the hilt has come up well with cleaning. Congratulations.

Milandro, the separate gangya is perhaps best seen in Carlos' last picture of his first post.
