I guess we shouldnt confuse Javanese with Sundanese either.

Thanks a lot, Penangsang,

And the two hilts, are they Buginese? Or Buton?

Pak Ganja,

About the other 2 hilts, they are not clearly stated by Mr Suhartono, but my take is.

the 1st one is makasarese because of the conic pistol grip type & the other one could be South Sulawesi Bugis. But I could be wrong too.
