These are lovely examples. Identifying the origins of Indonesian and Malay spears can be very difficult because some of the same characteristics associated with them, like the silver ferrules, often don't change much from place to place, then add in trade and it really becomes a challenge unless they are tribal pieces whose style instantly identifies their origins.
Are these all pamor blades?
Once you cleaned up the ferrules and blades and oiled the wood these will be stunners!
Congrats on the acquisition!
