Well, I for one think you did a good deed to free this blade!
BTW, the Madurese keris might be pretty decent as well - post some pics of it and let the keris specialists have a look...

The nimcha is probably tourist or wedding ceremony quality.
No idea about that star dagger - Henk suggested a Moroccan or Filipino origin?

no, the new krises ferrule is not hexagonal, it is of brass construction similar to the other 18th c.kris with twist core.

Thanks! I didn't realized that the pommel is octagonal which doesn't fit with my suggestion anway...

not sure if the inlays on the the bigger kris with twist core is swaasa? but it look like similar material to bands on the handle. should have it checked.

Let us know - AFAIK it doesn't look like tarnished silver!
Regards,
Kai
