Default Two Dha’s opinions as to the origins

Attached are some photos of two Dha’s. The first is a sword where the 24” blade seems to be of good steel, tempered, strong and flexible. At one point I was thinking that it came from the northern regions (i.e. Khmer). Then I read that those with a guard were from the south, i.e. Thailand. Some of the distinctive features are the point on the distal end of the sheath, the wavy engravings along the spine and the oval guard. It doesn’t feel like a tourist piece.
The second is a Dha knife / dagger. Rather elaborate11” blade, engraved, a silver sheath. I’m curious as to the members opinions of,” is this a tourist piece, ceremonial, etc.”
