Hi,
they are all Indian (Indo Persion weapons.) The dagger is a Katar. Both the swords are Tulwar, although the more curved bladed one would be considered a Shamshir. I would advise you to search all three terms (using the search facillity ) on this forum. Oh, by the way, welcome to the forum, they are a great bunch and very knowlegeable.  As to the question whether they are tourist or not.....to my eyes and your photos I would say they are not.... are there any markings/symbols on any of the blades? . You have a good selection to start your 'collecting career'  Regards David |
