edited to add: I loved the crosses made into the handles

I found em about two weeks ago and when I got a hint I was interested in this hobby, I've wrapped them and sat them in my safe, until I had time to go somewhere to get them indentified ...er find somewhere. I didnt want the kids or fingerprints etc... getting on them, I will pull them out tonight and see what I can find on them but I am pretty sure I didnt see any markings ...worn off maybe?

Try these to start.

These should give you a good start. Check the links for others. Look on the back side right by the handles there should be a makers mark.

Nice looking relics, they will make a good display.
