Robert and Battara,

Do you think the T'boli remounted hilt looks off center because the gangya has been removed? When I look at my own kris examples, it seems that mounting the hilt to a regular kris without its gangya would make the hilt appear to be asymmetrical. The integral T'boli guard peeping over the short side of the upper blade accentuates the asymmetry IMO.

Ian.
