Hi hombre,
I am not sure you should call your koummyas "tourist pieces". I would call them "village type" because I have seen many of this type that have been actually carried, as you can usually see on the wear around the rings where the baldric is attached. However, your have not been used. I am not sure about this, but most tourist koummyas have much more ornaments on the hilt and a blade that looks like....you know what I mean.
Yours have very simple hilts, but relatively good blades.
