As we all know, it is very difficult, almost impossible, to appraise a keris from a photo, however, on this occasion I am brave --- or stupid --- enough to make a couple of limited comments.

The primary keris in post #5, that is to say, the blade, is most probably East Jawa/Madura. It may be 16th century, but it does not display any of the characteristics that we normally associate with a keris that is classifiable as "Mataram".
