They could be repurposed blades with more decorative Victorian revival hilts, or, I suspect, maybe older than you think. But not really my area of expertise, tho I like them a lot, tho that may change with more info  .

Did some measurements and took some more pictures. The blade length till ricasso is 9350mm. Point of balance 280mm from top of pommel. The length of the fuller is 700mm. No markings visible. The blade is sharp on both edges.
