This Kris has been residing in my collection for a few years now. I cleaned it and etched it with PCB etchant. For some reason the ganya and the elephant's mouth cavity won't take to the etchant. What do you forumites think, stainless steel, highly unlikely. BTW the lower portion of the elephant's mouth is copper. I saw another Kris with the same type of ganya, I believe it was Ibeam's. Overall length 28", blade 23.5". The last photo is of the blade before the final polish.
How about the hilt, any particular name? Maybe an Indo name? As always all comments are welcomed and much appreciated. |
