Hi,

I thought the first kris had an obviously separate ganja?

Both are very nice sundang James!

A couple of mine have a chiseled line that makes them look like they have a separate gangya. This one is similar in style to the second one.
Thanks for sharing these with us.

I second Spunger's observations. These are newer post 1930s, when separable gangas disappeared. As Ferguson has demonstrated, lines were added later on some pieces to make it look like a separable ganga.
