Cirebon hilt?

Very nice and rare krisses, congratulations!
The first hilt is in Jawa demam style but not typical of Cirebon so possibly from South Sumatra indeed.
The second kris looks like a 17th century piece from Banten, not only the blade is nice but also the hilt, and the (broken) scabbard looks original!
Regards
PS: It would have been better to open a new thread for discussing these krisses?

I'm with Jean, these keris deserve separate, dedicated threads!
