Heavy metal, I believe them to be brass. Inscriptions up one side of blade on each of them. The inscriptions are easy to see but hard to capture in photographs. The inscriptions look like hieroglyphics but probably Chinese letters. The handles engraved with ornate design. They are 19.5” long.

Intact with more recent pommel (still quite old). This antique's beauty and age is evident through its natural deterioration and patination.
