So a ‘Tajong’ is a fairly specific combination of elements; sheath, handle and blade?
If I wished to describe these correctly, should my friends ask what they are and where they come from, would “Keris with ‘kingfisher’ hilts, North Peninsular Malaysia or Southern Thailand” be reasonably correct?

Actually, the hulu pekakak must face the opposite site of your blade. So, please turn the hilt 180 degree...

Ah, that is how they were when I got them. I have corrected the situation, thank you for bringing it to my attention!
I cleaned most of the rust from the blade with more shape in the sorsoran (lime juice and toothbrush method), and have taken this photo with side lighting to show more details. The joint at the ganjah is usually straight, no? The metal has subtle layering, but no flashy pamor.
