Hi Ian,

I was the first bidder! I like special the long one and agree with you about the origin but think that it is a little bit younger, beginning of the 20th century until 1930s would be my guess, the smaller one from the same area but from the 1930s until 1960s.
The long one with the hardened edge schows a lot of action indeed. I think that the lacqued handles and scabbards are the giveaway. I have a daab from the same origin, a little bit older but with a more simple blade.

Regards,
Detlef
