Anyone have a good idea where these two dha come from? They are unusual in that the blades are dated (in common numerals) and have decorations that are also somewhat unusual. The blade seems a little pointier than usual.

I have seen another 2 or 3 of these style dha and have yet to place the tribe or region from which they come. There is also a square-ended blade version with similar hilt and markings.
