The top pic looks like a Edo Samurai, Muromachi Era. Is it's Koshirae wood or leather? Needs repairs.

Here is what my friend thinks he has so far.

I thunk it is Tanto. Pretty robust. Hamon is visible. Seems complete. There are two signatures. One on the small knife also.

They believe it is 16th - 17th century.

The Tanto does not have any wood or leather. The scabbard is
Is laquered wood which appears ebonized. It is an authentic sword @450 yrs old.

The sword (wakizashi) is "kashu kiyomitsu". The Edo era.

It's an older post but the characters on the blade appear to be 凊光作. Hope this helps your friend.
