All 19th Century

The first with broad tapering double-edged blade with deep off-set fuller along most of its length on each side, one side etched with an amusing landscape scene involving two hares, one pursuing a hound and the other smoking a pipe, and two sportsmen pursued by a tiger, and along the other with partially erased erotic scenes, foliage and the initials 'L.D.', ivory-mounted hilt comprising flat ovoidal guard, and rounded grips beaked at the pommel; the second with double-edged blade inlaid with copper dots linked together by incised lines, brass-mounted hilt with cast decoration, and dark horn grip, in its wooden scabbard covered in green-stained fish skin with pierced brass locket and chape en suite with the hilt; the last entirely of russet steel, with crescentic axe-blades etched on both sides with Persian figures seated either side of a tree and retaining faint traces of gold damascening, on tubular steel haft cut with pairs of spiral lines at the midsection (3)
