These last two aren't as special but still interesting, #4 the little silver one because of its very small size. Not a ceremonial knife, a small pocket knife, or maybe for a child or woman to carry? Very fine workmanship with the silver wire on the hilt and case.

The last knife is a classic priest's "mit maw" or "doctor's knife". The handle is bone or ivory, not sure which, with a simple wooden scabbard reinforced with brass rings & a little silver. It's in excellent shape, never sharpened & though the blade is dark the inscriptions are easy to see. I have doubts about the age of this one, it doesn't appear nearly as old as the others to me, and looks like it might have been artificially aged.

Thanks in advance for any comments on these. I'm not sure if it's OK to talk about the possible value? The lot wasn't cheap but I still felt it was a pretty good deal -- any don't want to break any rules, if talking about money is a no-no.
