Are these historical swords or tourist traps?

[ausjulius]

i guess int his category of period fantasy weapons or souvenir weapons we can add the Persian made and indian made of this type, zulfiker swords, the etched bladed swords with iron handles and some other items. these were all souvenirs for tourists of the day

I'm not sure we can classify these two items as cheap knock offs or purely aimed at tourists. Perhaps they are more like pieces made for re-enactors today or for collectors of oriental art and artifacts.
