My OCD got hold today and I now have these. They are not my normal thing, as they were cheap? I took a punt on them armed with knowledge from this forum. Am I right in my assumption?

The knife in the scabbard is 35cm, 31cm out. The blade is just under 21cm. There is some damage to the silver wire inlay but just acceptable. Looks a bit like a Bowie knife.

The shield is just over 33cm diameter, steel sheet and was at one time silver plated but where it has been worn off a light rust is now on the surface. A little difficult to sort out without taking away more plate, unless you know otherwise.
