Hello, Thank you for your interest. I will try to get some decent pictures taken of the first sword you ask about tomorrow. It has a strange story as the old woman that I bought it from (who was in her 80s at the time) told me that it and another sword, a kris had been brought back from the Philippines by her Uncle. When I bought it it was covered in layer after layer of silver paint. I missed getting the kris.

The third sword down is also from the Philippines, Spanish American War era, probably Luzon. There is more about it including pictures here. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1909
