adamb,

It is a bit hard to tell for sure from your photos but the baca baca appears to be the one piece variety where the part that goes under the hilt wrap is integral with the part that wraps around the blade. Can you confirm this? From what I have seen, these one piece baca baca are invariably found on kris with tightly fitted ganja (as I believe your example to be) or with ganja iras.

Sincerely,
RobT
