Jose, it appears that our barung share a common character closest to the hilt, although they have been struck slightly differently so that a part of each has not come out completely. They were likely struck with the same die and came from the same panday--quite a coincidence. Together they define the whole original character. We should get a good translation of that one.

Interesting that both blades come with better than average hilts (yours is excellent BTW) suggesting that these blades were considered high quality.
