I sure like this kris, Lew!

Please let us know dimensions and also post a close-up of the gangya area!

This is a fairly old example - Cato might place it into the first half of the 19th century. Others feel that his estimates are too conservative...

The blade proportions seem quite typical for that period, too.

Regards,
Kai
