Pak Ganja,
Welcome back to the forum!
Is it from Cirebon or Tegal?

Default Could be West Java...

Dear Jean,

Some, if not most -- of Cirebon styles of warangka came from West Javan style. If you go to Geusan Ulun Museum of Sumedang, one of the most complete museum in Western part of Java which still preserve old specimens of West Javan (Pasundan) kerises, you may still find some example of old West Javan warangka style there. Some of their kerises are heirlooms of Pajajaran kingdom....

These are some of the specimens of the old West Javan styles of warangka from the Geusan Ulun Museum. You may compare to your specimens below..

Default Geusan Ulun Collection...

Dear Jean,

Here are some other specimens from Geusan Ulun Collection. I went there quite a couple of times. And the last time, I went to the museum..... with our friend, Dave Henkel last February....

Second from right, it could be Balinese...

Default Specimens from Geusan Ulun Museum...

The blades, most of the sizes are "corok" (oversized?), of more than 40 cm of length... Usually they wear in front of right thigh (they call it this way, "disoren" or in Central Javanese.... "anganggar")... * Correction: left thigh, not right thigh (Thank you, David for the correction)

These are some other specimens from Geusan Ulun Museum...
