The second one is an Afghani Lohar. Not bad for the price! You lucked out!
The third one (Jambiya) looks Syrian or Lebanese to me and is quite old: well, at that time both belonged to the Ottoman Empire anyway. Artzi can pinpoint the origin to within 10 miles.....
The first and the fourth are bazaar pieces. I know the itch: you kinda see the piece, know for sure that it is a tourist stuff but there is something that pushes you to buy it no matter what......
