Hello Henk,
Congrats with this beautifull kris.
It has a lot of handsome details, such as the ivory endcap, the interesting handle with the okir design in combination with the copperwire and ratan binding and also the dot in the blade is very nice.
What puzzles me a bit is the strange place of the clamp.
Is it loose and has it a tolerance, because it is situated so in the middle under the handle?
I have some images found of krisses which had the clamp also in this place, but only very few. Most of them have the clamp more "next" to the handle, instead of "under" the handle...
