I dunno Tim, this is two thirds a keris post. LOL!
I'm not sure if the origins of the blade on the right, but Javanese keris like those other two are not too difficult to come by.

These are two of the three Keris from Tradescant collection, most likely acquired by John Tradescant the Elder before 1638. Nice to see a new picture of them, pity the image resolution doesn't allow to see the details.
