Thank you Alan. According to Haryoguritno this style of curved ganja with 3 luk and curved kanyut is called Dhungkul (see Keris Jawa page 162) while the ganja Kelap Lintah is similar but with 5 luk, is it correct?
And thank you for your opinion that this kris is probably recently made although it looks old, I sensed it also but have not enough experience to be affirmative about it.
