Are these historical swords or tourist traps?

I think they were made as weapons and not for sale to those who travel. The one in the elaborate metal sheath may have been more for "show" than combat.

Here's an interesting Luzon example of the same kind of blade shape that recently came to live with me.

It is absolutely the heaviest Luzon blade I've ever handled.

Have fun,
