Hello hicarbon:

Welcome to the Forum!

I think xasterix has pretty much nailed these two for you. The binakuko looks like pre-WWII manufacture (does anyone know where this particular hilt style originates?). The barung could be a little later, WWII era or thereabouts. Two nice pieces.

Thank you both for the the feed-back. I imagine the Barong was mistreated at some point?
