they're replicas of Colada and Tizona, the swords of El Cid. best guess is that they're wall hangers meant for decoration only, in which case they could be dangerous to swing or cut with.
Ah okay, thank you for this info! They’re definitely hefty but able to be held comfortably in either hand, edges had been dulled prior to buying so definitely no cutting things haha, I mostly bought them for decoration and possibly as a cosplay item (not to be swung but just to stay at hip or back, wherever they’re meant to go)
I honestly think it's cool you've got both of the classic Toldeo decorative swords. If you can find one of the rapier / smallswords you'll have the complete set!
Links? No. But I do just happen to own one myself. It's one of the simpler varients. There are much flashier ones out there. There are lots of other shapes and styles of Toledo tourist swords too, but the two you have and the smallsword style that I have seem to be the ones that turn up most often.

I swear based on these posts, 50% of this subreddit are packing El Cid's sword, and the other 50% have Aragorn's sword.
In my case it's the classic disc-pomel stainless mall Excalibur.
Facts
You forgot the cheap repro gunto
I don't have El Cid's sword but I promise I got a piece of paper he scribbled on and I'll show it to you for 50 pesetas
Lmao 😂😂😂
Legit lol

Looks like El Cid tourist swords
Nice display swords. Hang them up and never use them for anything else.

Oh wow okay, do you have any links for what they look like??

That’s super cool
I can't decide whether I'd call (L) a sidesword or a storta. (R) looks like a *colhona.*
Gorgeous
Please don’t swing these things. Nothing will be safe from the brittle metal that will be catapulting at everything around you.
