The overall appearance let me be sure that they are from Luzon, the peened through tang, the handles byself and also the leather scabbards are typical for Luzon swords.
I don't think that they have had navy during the Philippine insurrection but frankly said I just don't know.
I am sure that others will confirm that they are from Luzon, special Robert have a great and good collection of this type of swords.
