Thanks to all who expressed an opinion! On the first item, it makes sense and I would tend to go with the 50's or 60's date as the workmanship is very good and the scabbard is chipped as opposed to a dremel tool job.I even think some of the fittings are silver.
On the second item you guys are probably correct, but as opposed to the first item and the ones you showed me made of brass, this kris like sword has a medial ridge on both sides, is very well balanced and sharp and it would make an effective fighting weapon .
