A few more:

#10 Estimated to be early 20th century (1900s - 1920s), horn handle which is very wide front-to-back (side-to-side seems to be a normal thickness). Comfortable in hand, except for the damage to the front corner.

#11 Don't know any details about this. It was very filthy when I got it; it's still pretty filthy now, but much cleaner. Looks like some damage to the edge has been fixed.

#12 Brass and grey metal grip. Very nice weight and balance, lovely to swing. The owner before the previous owner claimed WW2 or earlier (supposed WW2 bring-back). Just got this one, and am very pleased with its ergonomics. What might the grey metal be? I don't think it's aluminium.
