Are the grips on the slightly loger one a recent replacement? If so, this would be the one that I would part with if I were you.

Yes Teodor, that's the one. My thought was the same, the other one has intact horn scales and that's a major point in its favour. The blade is somewhat more pitted and rusted on the other side though. I will decide after proper cleaning.
