So let me correct you, they were cast in one piece including hilt
Few facts:
they look genuine, the same patina on different objects might be the effect of restauration, which you can observe also in museums. There is no way to tell if they are real or fakes. The prices ca. 100-500 $ are the same you can find in few good auction houses. If guy found all these objects by himself then it seems to me he has a lot of luck or very good contacts with archeologists
. They are also from different periods. Those from 11th century are generally buried deep and it's not so easy to excavate them. If guy found one source for these objects then I would call it fake - there is no way for the objects from such different centuries to lay in one place, in one layer. Until he didn't make mistake in dating these objects.
It would be good to see one of this things with bare eye, though todays fakes technology might be surprisingly good.
