muchas gracias, mi amigo. as usual these type of pictures are deeply appreciated. as for the picture themselves:

WW! for some reason, those swords with forked handles and very small handguard: what are they? are they visayan? it looks like a flattened diety hilt with an exaggerated horn. even the blade is in a tenegre fashion...they were on the other pictures you've provided as well. nice panabases! the padsumbalin on the right seems to have a real hefty blade. and oh, oh, oh, don't forget the bangkung. any close up on that??? on the second group of pics you've provided (museo tarragona), between the flinlock and kris, that looks like a bangkung as well. very interesting.
