The pommels on these look to me to be partial representations of a Buddhist vajra (thunderbolt) -- the middle one is just a wing nut, but it does a fair job nontheless. Taken with the recurved quillons, the whole handle may be meant to represent a vajra. That makes it less likely that they are from Borneo (or at least made for local consumption, as it were), though there was at one time a powerful Buddhist kingdom on Java prior to the introduction of Islam (these swords obviously aren't that old anyway).
