Moro: Kalis Seko with old restoration!

Could we please see the blade, Maurice ?

I also have a Jawa wrongko, old; that is attached to the gandar with wood pins .

If the two strings were made taut, then wrapped tightly with rattan right over the joint and up onto the crosspiece; the pressure would draw the two pieces firmly together; IMO .

Almost like Baca baca .

Rick, here an image of the gangya part. Unfortunately this is the only image of the blade I have available at the moment.

It is not as tightly wrapped as it might look.
It is probably done latter, a long time after the actual crosspiece broke off considering the patina (it might be restored like it was the first time?)
If the restoration is moro or not, I have no idea..
