Two takoubas - photos of the blade from Ghat

Hi Martin, thanks I was just a little confused.

Both are nice swords. The mounts I guess are not so old but the blade with single fuller looks like old trade blade to me. I'm not sure if the marks are European but they look nicely engraved and not done recently. I would not be surprised if they are original. Hopefully some others like Jim or Lee who are much more well researched and experienced with marks can comment.
