Thread: Help to identify swords?

I recently aquired this and frankly have no clue on what they are. I have two..this is the smaller 28 inch one.The other is about 36 inches long.Can anyone help me identify these? Thanks!

I am replying to my own post..sorry but wanted to put a closeup of the blade.Thanks.

Hi Davy
They are North Indian (Moghul) Gajamukha. Very nice. Great blades.

Thank you Mark,
I had absolutely no idea what they were. Do you have an idea about the age of these? Any and all information is very much appreciated.
Best regards,David

Hi David
I think the blades are at least 150 years old. Damascus blades were made from wootz steel from India and around 150 years ago I think it was, India stopped shipping wootz abroad. These blades are very strong and were revered by all.

Thank you again Mark,
Can you tell what kind of animal is on the hilt? It is very interesting finding out about these.
Best regards,David
