It's more like a huge knife or machete in original sheaths. I only paid $5 each but couldn't pass them up. It's a long shot but does anyone recognize the maker??
Could also be South American. Need a pic of the overall blade shape. I have collected a few from Tibet . If they are rusty and you want to clean them up a Scotch brite pad puts a nice working finish in them.

I am Unsure on the style of blade. I would clean them up a little and hit the leather with some cleaner and ask 40-50 a piece. Looks to be animal horn handles. With all the zombie craze people love the big blades.
Thanks for the replys.... The handles are what kind of drew me to them. The gun show is a great idea too. If I don't get enough info on them I'll just bring them to the gun show and maybe find out more about them there. One more question. I know that I normally shouldn't clean them but these seem well used. Should I clean them up ( I'm definitely selling them whether they are worth $5 or $50) or just let the new owner do that? Thanks again.
the new owener can give it the look he wants or make his owen mistake..All you can do by cleaning it with anything but a wet rag is to limt the number of buyers you mite of had.
Do not clean them. If I was a buyer, I wouldn't want to buy your cleaning, just the blades, you can oil them. My brother bought a similar blade for $40, he was also told it was Filipino. i sold a Dyak sword for $250, bought it for $60. It was unusual in that instead of the usual brass plug in the blade, it had a gold plug.
