Hi Folks,
I could do with some detailed identification of some weaponry here for providing ID cards to attach below each after restoration, and hope that the collective expertise here may come to my rescue! :)
Here is a shot of the weapons board -

All I know is that the three lower daggers are types of Katar. The other ones I am quite unfamiliar with.
The small axes each have hidden stiletto spikes that unscrew with the lower grip piece.
One katar contained a wee surprise also!

Any assistance with identification of the specific weapon types/period/geographic origin would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Paul Macdonald
