I have owned a few ganja iras krises and they came from several regions.

Palembang and Bali for example.

At the moment I still have one which is one of my precious possessions.

A Balinese kris which I bought without the Hulu ( it had a wrong sheath with a pencil written description of the village where it was found in Indonesia by a Dutch soldier ) and later on I had de sheath made to measure and purchased a Hulu at auction which then turned out to be almost identical to other kris, also Ganja Iras from Bali with a similar Bengo Segodo Pamor which belonged to the collection by E.A.N. (Emile) van Veenendaal.

I have shown and spoken about this kris before.

Im my opinion making a true ganja iras (so that the Ganja is not lost and not replaced) is a sign of great security of the kris maker.

If the maker at the last stages of making this kris makes a mistake it would be very difficult to recuperate the kris.
