Hello Gustav,

regarding if it's a 19th century piece I've asked Marius for dimensions since a 19th century piece will be smaller as a 20th century kris. Regarding the inlays, it seems that the inlays are done before the grooves get carved in the blade, you can see this also by the both other kris you have provided pictures from.

Regards,
Detlef
