About the three keris I can say all three are straight bladed. The dapur is brodjol. All three keris are from Solo, Surakarta. Scabbard is for all three wrangka gajaman. The last one has a copper pendok. Pamor of the first keris is an adeg type, the other two in my opinion Beras or Wos Wutah. The mendaks are new. Three very nice keris.

The sword with pamor blade is a pedang, I think. Dress looks rather new to me and is a replacement. The blade is certainly much older than the dress.

The middle dagger of the indo persian group with ivory hilt is a khukri, from Nepal or India. Looks to me as a very nice one. But the experts on khukri can tell you more. Same for the other weapons.

I would say, nice start for a collection.

I saw on the keris forum Rick is going to delete your keris part because he moved that part, so I will copy and paste the keris piece to the keris forum.
