Origin of the Tombak?

It looks like it may be an adeg (on edge) style of pamor .

Couple more; one smooth finished and a fairly short blade; the other, recent Madura C. 1980's

It'll would be good if khalifah Muda can show his tombak stems and bases too...

Well BigG, the base and stem is just a normal finish, no frills or brass fittings.

The shape of the stem is what I am looking for.. If only Jentayu would show pics of his excellent collection of Malay tombaks & lembings especialy their decorative features on the stems and the shapes of those stems..
