Hello Ariel,

Sword #1: isn't the blade very similar to the one I showed once

I don't think there's any relationship: IMHO possible similarities in blade shape are merely incidental (blade construction is very different but that is difficult to see from pics).

I still think the piece from the other thread is most likely from northern Africa.

Sword #2. Which side is the edge? I.e., is it possible that the handle is upside down?
The whole sword is pictured upside down...

Regards,
Kai
