The 3 krisses are very similar (from East Java/ Madura), do you know where was you ancestor based? He probably got them from Madurese barisans (native soldiers).

Again a nice keris. Agree with the others, East Java/Madura again, handle antler or bone. Yes, all three need mendaks and the sheaths will be nice when restored. Remove the hilts carefully and clean the blades, would be nice to see what come out.

Regards,

Looks like it might be a Sada Saler pamor from the picks, but a good washing will tell more.

It is difficult to identify the pamor because of the rusty blade but it looks wider than Sada Saler.
