Help with info on new blades

Heres a better picture of the knives and handles, Im going to take some better pictures of my whole collection soon. I do believe that the handle of the khukri is Ivory though. Also can anyone tell me dates on any of these knives and or price ranges, I want to make sure if i did get over charged I dont make the same mistake twice. I was told that the 3 keris were, 1 from the 16th century, 1 from the 17 century and 1 from the 18th century, and what looks to me like a long sword to be from the 18th century. Ive just gone ahead and guessed that the rest of my collection is from early to late 19th century.

Thanks

From the last 3 ones the small dagger with fancy hilt is from Lebanon, 20th century. The last one with the long blade is shula dagger from Morocco late 19th or early 20th century.
Welcome to the forum. My advice is to read a lot of old threads of this forum and to invest in books. Collecting is an addiction. May the force be with you

The Decorative bone handled tourist kukri with ceramic "stones" & brass scabbard, is probably from 1940 to 1970.
