You do have a very short serial number on that first one, but otherwise they are Soviet post WWII refurbished ex dragoons with the cool older markings.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
