Cirebon or Sunda sword? Opinion requested!

I'd always thought these to be Sunda sword.

Here is another carved hilt type. The blade on this example carries a keris feature, a kembang kacang.

Hello Gavin,

yes, a typical early Sunda hilt. I think that we can say that Cirebon is culturally intimately connected with Sunda.
Can we see the blade please?

Regards,
Detlef
