Unknown swords for Identification
Please help to identify these swords that came into my possession recently.
The Larger of the two has on the blade Napoli and 1847 or 1867 and on the other side of the blade Magrino. The grip is of what I believe to be polished horn maybe bovine.
The scabbard is missing the throat which I assume was of brass to match the drag / The leather is dry but not to crumbly as of yet.
The smaller of the two has a lion head ( I think ) and horn ribbed grips and the only marking on this one is a 66 as shown in the photo. the scabbard is of leather and is also dry and a little crumbly, But it still has the drag and throat with stud for a frog.
Many thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge and help possibly to identify the these swords.
