The visible part of gonjo when Keris sheathed

Dear All,

I have a couple of questions regarding the visible part of gonjo, "looking" out of the sheath (at Keris Bugis).

May I ask for some criteria (how much is allowed to be visible, how differs (if at all) this in different regions)?

I have two examples, for whom I am unsure: both fit not bad, but is the visible part not to big? Is the bottom-line of gonjo and the bottom line of sampir still with in the boundaries?

And now to something completely different

There is this old Photo of a Balinese. The Gonjo is "looking" out of the sheath. Do you have seen something similar on some of your balinese kerisses? (Of course there is the question if the sheath is original.)

Regards
