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.

Mark,

Aren't grandfathers the greatest! I wish mine was still alive to tell me more
about his adventures. The same man was actually conscripted by the Germans
during the 2nd world war. He was living in the Alsace area, very close to Strasbourg which, is a stone's throw accross the Rhine to Germany. Now I'm getting way off topic

Unfortunately, times are tough here and I'm looking to part with these daggers. It kills me to do it but.... What might the pair of them
be worth?

All the best

Ron
