Outstanding group of Afghan weapons BJ.
I like seeing the contrast of the old fixed blade lohar next to the more modern folding blade example. It seems I read somewhere these started being made that way in about the 1920's, but since I cant cite, the reference is pretty much moot.
They look kinda like an Afghan 'navaja' !!

BTW , good one on the holster from an Afghan Navy Colt Tim
