My gut feeling is also Russian or maybe French? I don’t think British or Prussian but I can’t justify my feeling.

There are so many generic modern items its hard to find good period examples (labelled) using google and I didn’t see a match on any illustrations i found.

The first one is unusual and the second one is odd too , to my British eye anyway 😊... though i guess even reproductions are likely based on something.

Its gonna be tough without a proper nose in the flesh 🤷‍♂️

 

May i ask are you considering buying them or just curious? They are good looking things but a gamble if priced as ‘real’.

 

Hopefully my ignorance will trigger a more knowledgeable gent to help us out 🤞
