From the original auction pics, just to make sure that no one thinks these swords are as suggested altered in any way, HERE IS A CLOSE UP OF THE BLADE TIP !.
They are both as purchased and original.

Biffy,

Sorry to upset you. The later pictures certainly show the swords to be older weapons and not reworked. As far as stag horn on knives, it has been my experience that this is uncommon on mainland SE Asian knives, especially the size of stag on these two. Perhaps you have other examples to show that you could post to a new thread.
