I concur with Craig: the sword looks to be a fan's interpretation of Glamdring from the Lord of the Rings films. Maybe something a blacksmith has knocked up? It's possible it could be used as a waster or something, but it's in no way historical or practical-looking.
The helmet similarly looks to be very modern and, from the photos at least, poor quality.
Cheers,
Ant

The ripples over the right eyeslit are a bit weird. Usually, you only get this kind of rippling in press stamped pieces, i.e. mass produced pieces (by the tens of thousands). What's weird is that all lines are uneven, and considering the cost of making a stamping tooling, you'd want to go the extra mile to at least have it look clean and neat. So it could be a patchwork of industrially made and badly hand fitted parts, just like the sword.

They look like the sorts of thing used as stage props for theatrical performances in decades long past. The sword looks to be cast metal. I doubt they were blackened when they were new. That finish seems to have been applied after they had already seen better days.

The sword is a cheap looking knockoff of some sort of the sword Glamdring from LOTR, so it has to be less than 20 years old, and it is low quality, and been painted black for some reason.
