Default 3 Balinese keris handles

Hello,

I picked up these 3 Keris handle in Bali. The center one is made of metal, the other 2 are wood. The one on the right is made of a very tight heavy wood of some sort whereas the first one is made of a lighter wood but has a wonderful 3 headed elephant face on each side. Can you tell me about the quality of these pieces and how much would they generally fetch for? I wanted to see how I did in my purchase. Thanks!

Now, now Apolaki, you have been around long enough to know that we do not do appraisals on these forums. It is against the rules.
Some close-ups on the individual hilts would help in assessing this pieces. They don't appear too old to me, but seem fairly well executed. I always like a ganesha hilts.
