    All I can say is that I see an Indonesian badik on this photo, just below the halberd type thing:

    it all depends on the cost....
    i would not jump on any knife or sword that I couldn't see the blade...

    but here....my experience would want me to have a better look at several of these...

    the two large Bowie's ...

    Not the folding knife....
    The antler handles , may be custom...

    the Japanese sword....gotta see the blade...
    it would tell me if I needed to take the handle off to look for a signature..

    the two short swords are either old...or wall hangers....??????????

    the short sword on the right.....
    is it this??
    upload_2020-10-18_12-43-38.jpeg

    if so......it should be old..

    & the two Epee, foil, fencing swords....look nice from here....with the curved handle on the left ringing true....

    upload_2020-10-18_12-47-53.jpeg
    the tall one is an antique field / farm tool..

    It's a nice collection....

    that may be....but worth a second look !

    It's a mish mash collection with no real focus.....but some of the newer blades could be custom made, and some of the swords could be older...

    even the two large folders look vintage and could be worth some money......
