Default where have all the ganjas gone?

watching many ads of krises for sale in the NL , I’ve noticed that many have no ganjas. I won’t post any pictures because they are for sale.

Although a number of these may have started their life this way (Ganja Iras) most have certainly developed this in time. I understand that this may not have been an easy fix when this happened (although I’ve certainly seen some glued ones which must have ben glued a long time ago with old adhesives) but I don’t understand how someone at some point sees the ganja become loose and doesn’t retain it with the original kris.

Funny thing is that some people maintain that this is “ intentional”, a person told me that she was told that orienting the ganja at a different angle than the blade had magical significance and someone else told me that it was a way to offer more protection or to inflict a nastier wound ( this person was into martial arts).

I just beleive that they were lost but again, I don’t understand how when one notices the ganja is gone is not preserved with the kris.
