Hello experts! If you have any idea what are these please let me know i would be grateful. ibb.co/vhHBJy7ibb.co/09TtLCXI’ve been told that these “swords” or objects are old and hard to come by. They dont look like swords to me, the hilts are not practical, the engraving and the blade shows no patina. I dont know. Overall it looks like a decorative something to me. Thanks for the help.

No expert here, but those are definitely slo’s. Pure fantasy. Old? Maybe but so am I. 😏

Fantasy swords. Old or artificially antiqued? Safe to use? Best used for wall decoration.

I saw the sword on the right in the Deutsches Klingenmuseum in Soligen. So I am 100% certain the one you have is a modern reproduction, or it's stolen.
The one on the left I can't say for sure without more details, but I would suspect it is also a modern reproduction.
Neither sword is of any value apart from decorative. Hundred bucks each, max. Realistic market price about $50-75. But then value is only really determined by how much something actually sells for when a transaction happens.

Thanks to everyone who replied!
The seller asks 125$ for the pair, I didnt buy it, i was just curious. Rufus Scorpius that was a pretty nice estimate for real market valur. Thanks! By the way the items are located in rural Hungary.

The sword on the right is a modern Sri Lankan kastane (reproduction). On the left a fairly typical decorative sword from India.

That's a rip-off seller. The sword doesn't come with the girl.

I tried to get Hazel interested in a sword when she was dancing, but she opted for a cane instead. Swords are not popular in my country.
