@ estrch

I got it just a few years ago but I don't know wheteher it was a remanant of the original sale or a resale.

@ Gavin

The second one is certainly North Indian.

The first one I am pretty sure is Persian (maybe Isfahan). I believe the Afghan ones tend to have longer blades and stouter hilts. Also the decoration style might be somehow diferent.
But it can be that I am wrong since in that area both styles and smiths travelled quite freely.
