I have endeavoured to provide any incomplete kris that I have bought with the most coherent and hopefully , correct, attributes.
One such example I have disclosed and discussed in a thread here

I think this was my most successful project.
but it is by no means an easy task done at a distance.
It is possible to buy semi finished products on line but, as far as I know this is only possible with Solo and Jogjakarta warangkas ( you can buy hilts and rings on line of various styles, qualities and price). But to obtain a Balinese dress I had to commission the entire thing from scratch and it was made on Bali.
I had done this before with a Melayu dress (which I have sold since then) and familiarised both the process of providing measurements to the artisan.
Upon completion however adjustments were needed and I have had someone here in the NL to help me with it.
