Default 2 Other talibons?

Thank you for your comments. Can you tell me something about these 2 other swords. They are quite smaller than the talibon, and their handles do not have the same curvature as the first one. One sword is quite corroded in the blade and the handle is worn and partially split. the other sword's blade is darkened, but the handle and sheath look somewhat ornately designed. are they small talibons, also presentation pieces, or quite older? Thanks

Both are talibon.

Those two are not tourist stuff. The first one is a rather nice one. The second one has seen better days.

Thanks! I forgot to show a picture of the sheath for the second one.

Just ment it the other way. The first one had seen better days. It is quite rusty and the hilt has some nasty cracks.

The second one looks better. But I'm not an expert on this field.
