Arrow Pictures of details

Michael, it's a small world!

I added a few pictures of details.
I'm curious if this gives new insights.

Maybe I am wrong, yet the lower one don't look like an old item to me. The engrawings seem to be done mechanically, the workmanship of them and the "trunk" is, how to say, something "other" like on an old piece.

I am not aware of similar pieces be made after WWII till about 2000, yet perhaps I simply have missed the information.

My guess is still Sumatra for the upper klewang. However, I have not seen any identical ones documented anywhere.
I also suspect, like the North Malay klewang, that it is not before WWII.
