Yes, of course, here are the new pictures...
About pommel, I don,t know if I will repair in the future.

Beautiful kris, certainly, I think, of a certain age and despite that the ganja doesn't appear to be separate.

Of course the gangya is separate.

A good blade. I have a cousin of it, or perhaps maybe even brother.

I cannot see any seem of separation

Beautiful blade Carlos and the hilt has come up well with cleaning. Congratulations.

Milandro, the separate gangya is perhaps best seen in Carlos' last picture of his first post.

I wouldn't use wood but perhaps faux ivory for repair. Also needs some blade polishing.

Nice honest junggayan kris. I love the fact that the unwoven rings are swassa.
