I'm skeptical about fingerprint whorls. :(
Layers of pamor might present as such, but look at your own thumbprint, compare how fine the print lines on your thumb are. :shrug:

Both were probably made around the same time; my guess would be mid 20thC.

I spent years swinging a 32oz Estwing framing hammer in my youth. I was glad at the workday's end when I could put it down and go to the pub.

I expect these fellows using hammers and teak charcoal could put to shame the Forged In Fire contestants even with all of the power equipment at their disposal.

Ed, I'd think Goat skin might make a better wrap for the handle. Goats were plentiful in the area and Goat skin is a much tougher leather .

I'm doubtful that this is a Sundanese (Tjikeroeh) blade. There is no decoration on the blade we're looking at here and the forging quality finesse usually seen on blades marked Tjikeroeh is absent.
