My Tombaks. I tryed to show the dress of the small one that exhibits chatoyantcy; possessing a changeable luster, like that of a cat's eye, Enjoy.

Not one nor the other, I think, but in length, closer to bedor than tombak.
Would not surprise me if this is CE Madura work. |

Your tombak in the center, is really a nice looking tombak. We call it, tombak with dapur "baru kuping", with kind of two holes near the base of the tombak. Like holes for earrings. "Kuping" in javanese language means "ear". And "baru" could mean "new", but for the tombak term, it is a name of straight tombak dapur... The "sarung" (tombak sheath) with such model, Madurese people call it as "seken". Madurese people use to bring the seken with tombak behind their clothes. Hidden... (This picture below, I show you the "seken" model, with tombak made in 20th century, with "silver-nickel" pamor of "teja kinurung" (surrounded light?). It has "methuk susun" or piled methuk...)
