the hilt should be turned 180º, in other words it has to face the other way around. Please observe other Javanese krises on the forum and you will understand how to turn it.

there is no need to send the kris to Jawa (or other parts of Indonesia)

You can make a good series of measurements and send pics and there are several people able to fashion a sheath to size.

very nice kris, with a good age and worth restoring to its former beauty.

The Ganja need probably to be fixed as il looks loose (but maybe the same person who glued the ukiran did that too). If it...

well the possibility that it may be from the Filippines is just an hunch. I have never see a spear in this shape but there are so many variations there, probably more than in Indonesia.

I would doubt tat this is Indonesian tombak or it would be a very unusual shape with an even more unusual mount.

nice krises

A Javanese and a Bugis kris , my guess is that the horn hilt is the Bugis? In that case it is most probably buffalo horn. I have a Bugis with a buffalo horn hilt.

I don't think it is a prerogative of a 5 luk kris being Ganja Iras. Any kris straight or with luk may or may not be created without a Ganja.
