There are two basic types of jinetas swords, the nazari ones from XVth century, and the battle jinetas, from XII-XIII centuries.
The two described by Nicolle are of the second type.
There are a few others.
One at Alava Armoury, another at Sevilla, in 2024 another one was found in Valencia, in relic condition.
A sword found at Sanguesa (bottom) is a sort of intermediate type.
