Although we have seen these pieces from this museum before, what you have done here is extra - you placed provenance and dates to these. Perhaps now we have more of a timeline of development for this.

Example - the ones from the 1700s seem to differ in blade shape to those in the early 1800s.

I admit more research is needed to confirm my hypothesis/suspicions.

Thank you.
