Identification of Antique Swords

Those are strange looking hybrid Japanese/Nepal/Indian swords. I know Japanese blades(authentic ones, not Chinese copies) don't put any engraving marks on the blade, they sign the hilt. But I'm not aware of many Indian/Nepalese blades that curve like a Katana type blade either. Very strange find.

I hate to say it, but I'd venture to say they're cheap replica type made in India or something. And probably worthless. I used to collect swords and India is known for cheap fakes, as is China. They're good at "aging" them to look older/more authentic but it's usually cheap steel and would break at the first thing you swung them at.
