Nice pieces. The kris with the weird scabbard - the scabbard is new and not traditionally made.

The rattan on the other kris could use some stainig but nice work.

All the blades could use a little staining to being out the laminiations.

The one kris with the engravings has nice talismans - great engravings.

Also the one with the ivory appears to be a little older than the other 2 looking at the pommel size and the way the waves are in the blade. Perhaps early to mid - 1800s?
