Hi Lew...means the gonjo and the blade are all one piece like that Sumatran Patrem you sold to me. Frankly i can't quite tell from the pics. Often with gonjo iras a line is etched to represent a division. When i first saw pics of that patrem i didn't catch that it was iras so this could be the same. But you should be able to tell in person.

BTW, i quite like this little blade. Please let me know if you ever get tired of it. I would give it a nice home...

I would like to make some fun like, worst buy ever! Sent it to me, quick!

What a lovely keris!! Looks like a gonjo iras indeed. Maybe some pics of the scabbard and the metal windings?

I took a look at the blade tonight and yes it's one piece.
