Keris Lampung Luk 9 ganja iras

Sorry, Henry, not ganja iras but "ganja lost".
No idea on how to replace it. Maybe you could find a ganja without pamor (sometimes it happens) and try to adapt it ...
BTW, all is really very very nice

Thank you for the reply . So ... let s go for the " ganja lost " and start the cleaning ! I have some old blades and I will try to source a ganja to fit as close as possible to the original design .

Very nice keris !

How is the fit in the scabbard ? (picture maybe)

Best regards,
Willem

Yes, certainly not iras. I am not sure you will be all that successful trying to adapt another gonjo. Have you considered having one made. You are not that far from Indonesia.

Willem , I have started to clean the blade into pineapple juice for few days . I will take some photos just after but what is surprising is that the blade fit perfectly flush to the wrangka ...

David , it s probably the best way to fit a new and appropriate ganja but I have never considered this option and really don t know how to proceed !
Do I have to send the blade or a moulding should be enough ( Customs are a pain here ) ? Do you have any contacts I could refer ?

Henri,

If you consider to make new ganja to adapt, there is some option to do.

1. Send only the blade to Madura, i know a blade smith who can work well for recomplete the blade, his named Harianto +6281913666009

2. If the customs are pain, try to make some drawing for exact measure of your blade on each parts according to same units of the original blade, so send harianto only your drawing then ask him to made new one gonjo to fit.

Good luck,
Hartadi

Hello Henri,

Looking forward to the pictures of the cleaned blade, as wel as pictures of the fit into the scabbard.

Will the blade still fit if you have a new gonjo made and added to the blade ?

Best regards,
Willem
