Here are the two jambya cleaned..
.the first Ivory handle has the rest of kofgari, I think that the blade is in Damascus?

the second handle metal with rest of entries, I think that the blade is wootz?

If you have opinions!

the handle looks like Albanian handle?

Both are Ottoman, most likely Balkan/Albanian. I also see what can be wootz pattern on one with ivory hilt. Nice attic find)

Hello,

It looks like a very nice Ottoman khanjar with Albanian-style handle and a very nice Ottoman court dagger.

Lovely!
