1 and 3, Indian/Pakistani tourist jambiya imitating Mughal daggers.

I was thinking 1 and 3 were Indonesian based on the shape, the decor, and especially the blade pamor. You see these in Indonesia a lot.


2 is at least Bhutan/Tibetan in style

I was also thinking Indonesia, or maybe Malay or Borneo, especially for #3

Mid 20th century would be my guess.

Agree on #1 is from Indonesia, maybe Central Java-Surakarta/Sala?

#1 is not from Solo, and very unlikely from Central Jawa, it could be from Surabaya, Pasar Turi, but it is really not any sort of traditional weapon from Jawa, it is just something from somebody's imagination.
