#2 is a very ordinary Javanese blade, the hilt & scabbard were made in Jogja, most probably by Bp. Prawirodihardjo(Alm.) or possibly his father.

Thank you, Maisey

It's amazing that you can tell who made the hilt & scabbard of #2. How do you know that? Is Bp. Prawirodihardjo also a member of this forum?
