Hello, Miguel
You're right, no.1 is Indian, rather modern, not much Arab influence, more of a novelty item to resemble Mughal style. The blade is of "tiger-eye" pattern, late 20 C.
No.2 is Persian Qajar, decent quality for this type, late 19/early 20C.
No. 3 is Persian/Indo-Persian), not as old as 2 but not as "recent" as 1)
