Hi Roy,

Beautiful kris!

I'm guessing the above measurements should read 62 cm and 52 cm, respectively...

Open question to Jose, Kai, et al... what is the significance of the arrow motif (engraved on either side of the fullering running beyond the stirrups onto the gangya)? Or are those even arrows, i.e, are they simply stemmed zig-zags?
