Two Tajong?
I recently found these two Keris, and would like to learn more about them. From a couple searches of the forum (and a long interest in ethnographic patterned steel), it seems they are Patani tajong, at least in hilt. The one with the darker handle is more roughly carved, and has no sign of pamor on the blade. The lighter handle is carved with a high degree of care and finish, and the blade has more shape and signs of pamor.
Both are in need of TLC!
