Yup, definitely a separate gangya!
I'd also believe this Moro kris to be first quarter of the 20th century or even a bit younger. Interesting arrangement of fullers at the base! Regards, Kai |

I agree with Kai - separate ganga - a great thing to have for an earlier piece. Much later do we see gangas simulated by an engraving line.
Good for you!

BTW, I'd also strongly endorse etching of this blade: Very likely laminated! And this blade is sound enough to be able to deal with a lot of etching attempts...  Regards, Kai |

There are pictures of datus holding kris and barong that are etched dark.
