The sword is certainly a Persian blade with probably a Sudanese hilt as you have noticed.

Other than that, I cannot say much except that the blades are exceptional indeed (both in terms of their quality and in terms of their original design).

Kronkew and Marius,

Yes the dagger is a Persian Khanjar and yes the handle shape is a bit similar to the Kurdish ones or maybe is the other way round... You will find some Ottoman daggers with such handles and they are not Kurdish. This shape is not typical to Kurdish daggers.
Yes its a kaskara with an Iranian blade as described in the MET catalogue.

As Drabant said its an excellent book.
