Condition report; Each blade appears crude and worn with obvious denting and surface abrasions across the surfaces. The beast carved hilt has aged losses and abrasions and the hand guard is loose/wobbles. We believe the other hilt to be carved from horn however we cannot confirm this. Please see further images which clarify the above.
