Great taste as always Charles!

The first BB looks very (!) old to me, both the brass hilt and the compact blade. Its scabbard is a puzzle?
The second one is one of a kind, maybe it's a hybride of a Beladah Belabang (hilt and blade features) and a twist of a Pedang Jenawi (straight blade)?
On the third one I don't think it's influenced by a Jimpul. Maybe a Sumatran Pedang however?
