What are these?
I found these in a flea store . not my field in fact but one of them are 1831 French artillery gladio, right? blade has French handwriting inscriptions under the deep patina. other two seem like hunting daggers, or as they're long, forestry short swords? but there are not enough signs on them. one of them has F.W. on guard . no maker's mark around. both blades are old looking,good quality steel and used. one scabbard is blued metal with a brass little scabbard attachment on rear for a shorter knife, the other is sewed leather. do you think they are antique or very good quality reproductions? if antique, pls give more information about their identities.
