Default Two daggers for comment

Hello everyone, I would be grateful to receive your comments on these two daggers.

The first one I believe to be a Karud. It is very well made having a green stone and steel handle with a fullered blade. The scabbard is wood originally covered with leather but now covered in a plastic material by a previous owner, the fittings are steel. I am not sure whether it is Indian or Afghanistan.
O/l is 19 ins with a 14 ins blade x 2 ins wide at the hilt.

The second one I am not sure whether it is a Karud or a straight backed Pesh Kabz and whether it is indian or central Asian. The dagger has a horn hilt and the scabbard ie wood covered in leather.
O/L is17 ins with a 12.5 ins blade x 1.75 ins wide at the hilt.
Thank you
Miguel
