The well defined ada-ada is just a wee bit too well defined, the greneng are rather amateurish, the pesi on both both blades are very tapered and not well finished, the pawakan of the straight blade is not really Balinese, and we do not know how long they are.
I believe that in the hand these blades would be given as Lombok. |

G'day
 David,BluErf,A G Maisey Thank you for setting me straight. I had thought I must have been stating the obvious regarding origin  I would rather know what I have, rather than think I have something I do not. It also makes me question the suggested origins of all the pieces in my small collection I acquired enmasse.I shall post pieces individually in an effort to determine their correct origin and age. 17 1/2 in appx for both blades length, not including tang. 3/4 in thick at base. both pieces, to me, seem robust and well tempered Thank you again for your candour and clarity. Kind regards, Daniel
