Thank you for the swift replies.
To Chris, thanks for the information. In all honesty, I am not confident enough to disassemble and reassemble the swords so if that is needed I will have to run through a few youtube tutorials first.
To Bruce, again, thanks for the information. I was hoping to get $1000 USD for the pair ($700 & $300 respectively). Given the information you provided and the condition of the blades (they had been stored away in a collection since the mid 60s I was told) I should have no trouble getting a reasonable price for them.
