Hi Rahman. I believe what i described was a keris w/o a SEPERATE gonjo, in other words, it is not a seperately forged piece of metal, the keris is all one piece. This is what i understand to be gonjo iras. I did not describe a keris that was sold w/o a gonjo, as in missing a gonjo that was originally there, if that is what you mean. I'm not sure i understand your distinction.
