Hi Vandoo, thankyou for the info....they arrived today and your description of the Dha is most accurate...the grip is indeed OVERSIZED.
I will post pictures of the other two shortly......my camera is 'playing up'  ...so it may take a while....

Here are the pictures of the Wilkinson Sword, a M1822 light cavalry sword as the pommel is chequered (thanks Jim
 ) . It is nicely balanced and is in very nice condition. I am in the process of matching the serial number to its history...

Here is the Kaskara.....only 30'' in length OA, the sword shows age, the leather covering the hilt is 'worn' and has shrunk, the blade's etched script is quite worn in places. The blade is typically thin and springy, the crossguard and langets are 'patina-ed' brass...possibly bronze. IMHO quite likely a 'Mahdist' period piece......
