If it were only mine, then I would've posted a full length photo.
Sorry homie.

ah, sayang, pre..
as far as heft: not much heftier than a kris of the same size... as a matter of fact, it's balanced as heck. it perfectly counteracts the arc of the blade. the blade is beefier than normal tho.
of note as well is a copper wire wedged between the handle and blade (visible on pic 2). can't figure what it is. only thing i can think of is perhaps it was used for a munsala cloth at one time...

Does that center-panel go all the way through or is it like an inlay?

Congrats with this beauty Ron!

As unique as it is, I specially like this old talismanic blade......

It appears to go through, mross. IMO it was folded over the blade (think poncho) and peened by those two brass buttons. The silver plate is an enigma though: it's actually raised so I'm not sure if it goes right thru, or if it's two separate pieces somehow glued opposite to each other...
Thanks Maurice. Somehow I'm on this talismanic kick lately, lol...

Any chance that silver plate has a section that goes under the ganja? If so it could be like a clamp to help hold the other section in place.
