On the gunong, those are silver mounts on the scabbard with one thin one missing.
On the bottom dagger, I have never seen one like that before, but the hilt I am now convinced is narra wood which has a red color that darkens over time. It is what I would call a northern okir engraving. The hands look familiar - perhaps a Katipunan sign of brotherhood? (would need to look up my info if I can find it).
Again, I don't think the leather sheath goes with the knife, but is early and may belong to a Pampangan sword.
All well preserved.
