Thanks for the info. 
I agree it's not antique. Aluminium where you'd hope for silver    
But some signs of age, oxidisation of brass and shrinkage of the wood slightly.  
Allegedly the collection it came from stopped 'growing' some time ago, so hopefully at least vintage    
These double weapons are interesting aren't they?

 Hi Gene,
 
Are it signs of age or signs of use? ;-)
 
I myself like these double blades in one scabbard a lot, as a martial art practitioner... (though not as explosive and fanatical I used to be one time in my better days).
 
Best wishes,
Maurice
