THANKS FOR THE GREAT PICTURES

THE ONES I HAVE SEEN WERE LIKE THE ONE IN THE FIRST PICTURE. I SAW AND HANDLED ONE IN PERSON AND IT HAD A VERY GOOD BLADE WITH A VERY NICE PARMOR THE PERSON SELLING IT HAD NO INFORMATION ON IT. I SAW ONE OFFERED ON EBAY A FEW YEARS BACK THAT WAS SAID TO BE ONE OF TWO SPECIALLY MADE FOR A BIG INDONESIAN EXHIBITION OR CELEBRATION UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T REMEMBER ANY MORE THAN THAT.
CAN SUCH A LARGE KERIS BE CONSIDERED PUSAKA AND WOULD IT BE TREATED THE SAME AS OTHER KERIS OR DIFFERENT?
