This is an interesting group. Very much a 'grab bag' of Afghani weapons.
Some good, some average, some look to have had recent work done on them.
The antique Military scabbards (just look at those steel drags!) are quite unusual. If the swords within are original then the mouth of the scabbard won't have marks or room for the three bar knuckle bow type and the swords might even have military stamps somewhere.
The sword with the Persian-esq chiselling is cute. Hilt looks very recent, could it be an older blade?
A nice and interesting lot.
