I may do the blades at some time in the future, bit by bit. I'm not articulate enough and can only 11-finger type.
Best,

So, you are saying that you the hilts on #15,#16 and #17 are all modern creations that you know were carved in Jawa?
The collection is yours and you are free to dress them as you please, of course, but these hilts still look strange and out of place with those sheaths no matter where they were actually carved. Are the blades within the Jawa sheaths also from Jawa?
