Hello All nice to be here, can anyone help me identify these swords?

Those look like some sort of stage props, not real weapons, probably made somewhere in the Far East, Pakistan, India or some place like that.
 
They do look like generic fantasy wall hangers. The fittings are cast brass and the hilts look like turned oak, definitely modern and not antique. The short sword looks like one sold by Windlass Steelcrafts about 20 years ago. The edge looks like it needs to rubbed out with fine steel wool and oiled. The long sword is in pretty rough shape, too. The pitting is common on carbon blades stored without protection and can be reduced some by buffing it out. But the orange splotches near the tip are active rust that will eat deeply or all the way through if you don't sand it out.

You won't be losing any value by prettying them up--mineral oil the wood, metal polish on the brass, oil that sheathe, preserve the blades-- but that also won't add a whole lot either. The thing you shouldn't do is think that rather than just trashing them you should do some destructive chopping instead. Wall hangers don't have the temper for it and could shatter into you, and their tangs can't handle the stress--leaving you with a handle in your hand a piece of steel freewheeling around.
