The first one is a celtic sword which has been intentionally destroyed (as a sacrifice, or to ensure that it'd be allowed to stay with it's owner in the grave).

Here is an Indian belt sword. Tirri page 347.

Hi Chevalier,

The second is an African 'Houi' from the Dahomey area. Late 19th century.

All the Best
