Historismus, masonic, or???
Hi, it is not my area and i would appreciate your input about these. They were found in Crete and the owner says they may be Venetian. They look more like historismus pieces to me, or even masonic ceremonial ones, what do you think?

Sorry Eftihis,
Recent replicas from the last 30 years IMHO. The guards look like pot metal alloy. |
