Please help identify these daggers.

Fairly classic of the type. The one with the "old-ivory" coloured grip looks like a 20th cent. Solingen decorative dagger, mentioned in another post here. The "coffin grip" looks to be older, and of the sort often called a Gamblers dagger or a Ladies (of the night) dagger. Nice Little items, I collect in that area myself.

Thank you very much for your help. I do like them very much and how they are small enough to start a nice collection.
