Some more photos, of them individually, with a close-up of the hilt/gangya.

First, #1 above, the first from the left.

#2, second from the left.

#3, 3rd from the left.

#4, 3rd from the right.

#5, 2nd from the right. This is the last one I'll add these photos for, since I don't think there's any point in more photos of the tourist one (#6).

Hello Timo,

the last one, #5, is a keris, new creation IMHO in panjang dress.

I would agree with Detlef. In spite of its size i am not sure i would cal it a sundang. I think it's origins are more likely Madura than either the peninsula or Borneo and i'm pretty sure it is from this century.
