I thought the original questian was to find the source of the display.
The source of each weapons is easier , Although its many & varied & includes, Yemen, Afghanistan, England, Nepal , Sudan & I am sure other middle eastern to eastern countries as well. Spiral |

Taking this in the spirit of a television game show question, I'll try my hand at a rough answer.

Actually I didn't intend it to be a contest, but if it works...
When I posted the picture I though it was a display from some museum. I now know that it a studio picture take from a 1970's era issue of Guns and Ammo Magazine. I still don't know what prompted the picture. I was hoping to learn what the swords and knives where as a learning process. My limited knowledge of these tells me that they are swords and knives from the Indo-Arab part of the world. Thanks for their names. The only ones I do know are the Martini and its bayonet. Martini Henry MK IV, Pattern C and Pattern 1887 Sword Bayonet Mk III. 10 round packet of rolled foil case 577/450 Martini Henry ammo most likely Mk III since all earliery Mk's were to be broken up. The rifle although not exclusivley used in India, it is where the majority of them were sent for use by colonial troops. My education continues. Thanks guys.

The yataghan is a montenegro/bosnia piece. Probably made in sarajevo between 1840-1870.
