Default unique blades

I would like to get some thoughts from everyone upon the probable construction and region of construction on this set of fighting blades, they are extremely well balanced and very light, one being about 2 ounces heavier and 1 inch longer than the other.

I love the look and the feel of these two blades and am actually having a modern smith make reproductions -- but I would really like to hear what everyone think's about the origin of these two strange blades.

I purchased from akaal arms, and he said as much as I have already-- these are pretty unique blades and we are mostly guessing about the origin. here are a few pictures, from the seller.


stated as Indic fighting swords dated to a possible 1906 because of coins set at the bottom of the grip.
