Gentlemen,
Thank you for your comments.
The clamp is tight on the blade and has no tolerance. I already looked if i could remove the hilt with the clamp to clean the blade entirely.
The hilt and the clamp are attached to the blade where the hilt is filled with something i cann't define. But the filling is old and certainly not recently done.
David, If you mean that the clamp should be situated more to the right of the blade, i can see that there is room to place the clamp. But i don't see spurs of a previous clamp on the blade which is very good visible on other krisses where the clamp was replaced.
Maurice, as i mentioned above the clamp is tight on the blade. And yes mostly the clamp is next to the hilt. But i'm not an expert on these moro krisses. I bought it from some blurry pics for a good price and was pleasantly surprised when i opened the box when it arrived.
