I posed this question a week ago, so I'm guessing that after a week it is unlikely that there will be much more comment.
I have owned these keris since 1953.
They came to me from my grandfather.
He acquired them in the 1920's from a friend of his who had been a merchant seaman in the period of about 1880 to 1910.
Below are photographs of the stickers glued to the scabbards by the merchant seaman who first collected them in the Malay Peninsula prior to 1910.
