Very nice pamors on both blades. Both keris are brand new. My problem with these two blades is the rust. Maybe it is slight surface rust that can be whiped away with a cloth and oil. After treating a...

Both knives are khyber knives or Pesh kabz. If you search in Google for khyber knife and you select pictures you will find them.

Some better pictures of te blade and the snake tail would certainly help.

I wouldn't be surprised when this blade is javanese. When cleaned and treated with warangan it might give a very nice pamor.

Not my field at all, but i believe this is a manding sword. I wouldn't call it a sword actually because it hasn't an edge. Looks more like an iron stick.

In my eyes for ritual purpose and probably...

In the ottoman area they where fond of these kind of decorations as well.
The other suggestions make sense as well.
Nice find, that's for sure.

Nylon could be used for repair, could be fishing line. Butit could also be organic material like a dried sinew or something like that. Hard to see on the picture

Yep Java. Very nice trisula. Always mounted as a tombak. I've never seen a trisula mounted seriously as a dagger. Just as Detlef I cann't say anything about it's age.
