David: No, it definitely is a two piece ganjya. Also, the luks, These pictures can be deceiving because when you see the kris in person they are NOT pointed..........Dave.

I agree with Jose that the blade is clearly a late style - with the seperate gangya, I believe it's from the 1920-1930 period.

Hello Dave, I also have to agree with Jose's evaluation on this. The blade just does not show the craftsmanship that one would expect on an older example. Another thing that seems off on this is that the medial ridge is almost completely straight where usually when these are present (on older blades) they follow the flow of the luks. This is just my opinion though and I could quite possibly be wrong.
 Best, Robert |
