Antique Sword Lot: Tibetan Ral Gri, Solingen Court Sword, And Civil War Militia

Description: Hello, I must thin my antique swords as I moved and have no space, so please see this lot for consideration. First, the star of the lot is the Tibetan Ral Gri. I believe the hilt and guard are silver, but note I have not tested it, so I can not say for sure. It has the classic coral ornamentation on the pommel, and the motifs are beautiful. The blade also has the classic Tibetan tempering of the blade, and it will pop out more after a little cleaning if desired. I have not touched it beyond wiping with oil. NOTE: The blade and hilt have bends in them. Please see the photos and ask if you want more photos. If this sword had no condition issues, it would easily be close to a thousand. There are ways to straighten the blade, but I did not attempt. Next is the European Court Sword. My opinion is that it is Bavarian, circa 1850ish. I came to this conclusion based on the coat of arms, which to me looks like some of the ruler's court swords. I believe there was once silver on the "L" on the guard, but the silver was scraped off. You can barely see the Solingen makers mark on the blade. The gilting is sadly mostly gone. Mother of pearl grip is in good shape. The knuckle guard is broken. See photos. Blade is straight, but since it's a court sword, the furniture isn't very stable. It's not meant for combat. Lastly is either a Civil War or later Militia sword or perhaps a parade sword. I can't be sure. The grip appears to be bakelight? So it could be later than Civil War. Possibly a veterans parade sword from the Victorian Period? Note that these are just my opinions! :) Not many condition issues except the scabbard which has lost a lot of the leather, etc. See photos for condition and feel free to ask anything.
