Yes, the far right is typically Tegal (Ganesha) ornamental hilt... I like the old Jogjanese sheath (the first from left), although it seems not clean enough. But I'm afraid I'm sure it is an old and "classic" Jogja style...

Again, combination in keris fitting. The long one, Cirebon sheath but with Java Demam hilt, and the short one is Cirebon hilt with (informal) "sandang walikat" sheath of Central Java (Solo style).

Cirebon and Tegal, is only (about) 60 kms apart. Neighboring cities in North-west coast of Central Java.

Just a guess: not an old knife, but probably a "cundrik" (short-pedang like keris).

The pamor of my short one, I think it is "toya mambeg" or "banyu mambeg" (the same meaning) or "clogged water", "stagnant water" in English... I don't know exactly the philosophy of this pamor's name.
