Congrats Iain, I really like the crossguard on the first one!

Nice pick-ups Iain, congratulations

Both with nice old style pommels and I think both are fairly old as takoubas go. I'm guessing Hausa with some age for the top one? The bottom one is interesting, looks like Hausa work on the scabbard and the flat profile of the blade with no markings fits, but the leather wrapped hilt is a bit unusual isn't it?
