Nice honest junggayan kris. I love the fact that the unwoven rings are swassa.

I remember that Ron (Spunjer) has a rather similar junggayan kris some years back (i actually set up the deal with the sell for him) that also had the tail missing from the ivory junggayan which he had a wonderful restoration done on, but i believe he actually had the tail replaced with and newly carved old piece of ivory. Ron, if you are still lurking here perhaps you could throw up a few pics.
José, i am curious how you can be so sure that the rings are suassa just from the photos. Has Carlos had the metal tested?
