I have looked on ebay and searched all over the net , they saw toledo on them but Nothing even comes close to looking like them on ebay. Where Can i find out how much they are worth? On one of the swords it has family crest symbol with a kings crown above it, all of the other ones ive seem only have officers symbols.

You really can't, they may be faked.

Armaments are a very special area of collecting, and you need a specialist in this area. Contact an antiques dealer near you and ask if there is someone in your city who deals in edged weapons. That's what swords are known as in the collector's world. The other possibility might be to check with your local museum and see if they have an expert in that field, or if they know where to contact one. Tracing them back, especially the one with the family crest, and being able to provide a little history would make the pieces much more valuable to a collector.

PBS has a show called History's Detectives or History Detectives (something along those lines). Each episode researches about three interesting objects brought to their attention from viewers.
Or, find out when Antiques Roadshow is going to be nearby.

Maybe the people on PBS's Antique Road Show can help you out. Look in the phone book for auctioneers or something like that who will buy estates, antiques, etc. They might be able to appraise it for you

if they were real toledo swords they would not put that on them ,it would only have a makers mark,which would be recognized by any collector,i would say they are reproductions and only any good for hanging on the wall,

Go see a antique dealer near you. They will tell you how much they are. Good Luck.
