I am not too knowledgeable regarding knives, so would appreciate your input on these. I will post some more detailed images.

This knife has some beautiful castings. I found it in a small roadside antique shop in central Arkansas many years ago. The only marking I can see is the anchor within the oval on the blade.

These were two of the three knives I found in a general auction in rural Kansas. The one marked with "IXL" also has a portion of the makers stamp, but pitting has obliterated all but ???SON and ???ORK. The other knife blade is marked Wilson Swift. Any information on the two makers would be appreciated.

In the same auction in Kansas with the two knives above, I bought this knife & scabbard. I have been told that it is similar in style to a French short artillery sword scabbard, but is too short.... any ideas?
