Default Two uninvited keris for comments

I have these two uninvited Keris. I have them but not out of my intention. I didn't purchase them, but they were sent to me by 'mistake'.
One of them has a horn hilt, I don't know what kind of horn. In the begaining, I thought it was wood.

The other has a very good fragrance and it's long-lasting.

nice krises

A Javanese and a Bugis kris , my guess is that the horn hilt is the Bugis? In that case it is most probably buffalo horn. I have a Bugis with a buffalo horn hilt.

Thank you Milandro. Yes, the Bugis one has a horn hilt. I thought it was wood because it has some white coarse part in the top. A friend visited me and told me it's horn.

There is another horn figural hilt, can you help me to ID if it's buffalo or rhinoceros?This one looks better than the Bugis one
