The fiber wrap on this short one reminds me of tarred Italian Marline; often found in a sailor's ditty bag; it may all be newer stuff also .
Number 1 is nice .

Nice krisses! especially no. 1.
The style of the braiding and silverwork of no. 1 look very similar to the capture piece displayed at the US Military Academy's West Point Museum ... |

I agree with Kai on everything so far.
In fact, the 2nd kris reminded me of this early to mid 20c puppy: www.oriental-arms.com/photos.php?id=1565 The blade of the 2nd could be Maguindanao. |
