Both have rings. The "prettier" one with the gorgeous multifullered perforated blade, is probably italian or spanish. It has replacement carved black wood (ebony?) hilt and pommel These were probably repaired in the late 18th C. (as per previous advice of Norman, IIRC.)
Right: W 6.1 oz CG 1 cm caudally of crossguard. TL ~12.5" BL 8.25" Multifullered perforated blade.
Left: W 11.3 oz CG at crossguard's table TL 16" BL ~12" Diamond CC blade. Turkheads and helicoidal hilt with wire grip.
No signs evident of having been sharpened.
They took me back about $2K ea. 13 yrs. ago. But I enjoy owning them very much, probably even more than anything else in my collection...
Best regards
Manolo

Could I trouble you for their weight and blade length and any signs of of the edges having been sharpened?
Cheers
