Default Blade for identification

Last Tuesday I received an open message on facebook, it is still there, that after his mother past away, she was Indonesian, Lampung, his father was Dutch, they found a box with 11 pusakas. They all forgot about the coffin after decades and found it on the top of the house. Opening the coffin, the gentleman suddenly remembered that strange things indeed happened in his youth, such as his father who got a deep cutting on a keris, and when one of the keris inexplicably fell off the wall, ending up right between his fathers toes, the father decided to lock up the kerisses, and it stayed there for 70 years... The gentleman did not dare to remove the plastic from the kerisses, of what he remembered of the keris and I smelled the camphor smell of my youth!!! Opening it was even for me like going back in time...
It is very interesting to see how keris look like from the time when my parents left Indonesia.

I could identify almost everything, indeed as the gentleman told me all Lampung: 3 Rudus, 1 Sewar, 2 Badek, 1 Baladau, 4 Lampung keris with Putri Malu grip. A coulpe with Sepukal keleng blade, One with a Lampung blade and one i can not identify!

It is the last blade of the last picture, that is reshaped, they even made a strange gonjo with pamor, but also the point looks reshaped, i don`t know... The blade looks a bit like the Banten blades from the 17th century, but i am not sure.
