My first Bugis which I purchased on epray a decade ago had just such a crack .
Of course the idiot that sold it to me shipped it in a soft envelope .

Mine wiggled a bit but not much .
Solved the problem by forcing 5 minute epoxy glue into the crack and holding it tight by hand .
Clean up before it sets hard .

and beware of glueing your hand to the keris
It is a good way for keeping your keris close at hand, but people start to stare in public places. and traveling by plane gets impossible

Dear Rick, could be the person who did repaired on my keris was not tight enough while sticked the crack. That way appearing the crack with a gap on it

An old repair is a different story indeed .
No quick fix there .
