Kerises in European Museums

I'm just wondering if fellow collectors can share with us what's on display at the museums near their home, especially those in Europe. I saw these two kerises on the internet ( from The King's Kunstkammer- East Indian Chamber/ The National Museum of Denmark) just a moment ago and wonder if anyone has close up photos of them. They are from " Bantam, Western Java, Before 1674" . If you see these blades without their hilt in an antique shop, would you guess they were pre- 1674?
