Two more Luzon pieces

The first has iron fittings, except the butt plate (some copper alloy?). Rings and tip of the scabbard are brass. 1/4" thick blade at the hilt.

The sword in above is very nice, compare it with the Luzon pieces from the Macau exhibition on the right from the picture.

Yeah, that top one is one of my favorites.

Details on the second sword (iron fittings, 1/4" thick blade at the hilt).

I think the mom 88 is post WW2 probably around 1948 to 50. The other one is probably around 1900-1910.
