Great hilts. Now i realize that different people sometimes have different ideas when they say "original and untouched", but to my eye i see 2 Javanese (or possibly old Maduran) sheaths and blades with hilt styles from the Peninsula, so i have my doubts that these hilts
originally belonged to these blades. In that sense these hilts look a bit out of place on these blades with their Javanese mendaks and sheaths.
That said i would clean the blades and maybe hit the hilts with some mineral oil and a soft toothbrush.
