Hello Ron!

The second one you show is similer to mine but witha wood sheath and seems to be missing a crossguard. The first one I whould say early to mid 20th. century. The second one might not be a tourist pice because I know long thin blades where populer with certain berber groups. Keep in mind that tese are peasant knives and made out of what is avalable. Knives with histories are very nice, I have a small knife from Brunei brought bake by my grandfather in 1974.
