My antennae are twitching....
The industry of fake antiques in general and bladed weapons in particular in Russia takes second place only to oil/gas.
The origin and the date on the spine look to me very modern: they are clumsy, crude and the script is modern.
Overall condition is far too good for a 100 y.o. thing.
Blade profile and decorations are very “international modern”.
Just IMHO.
