Hello Jasper,
I think the first sword from the top which you show in #18 is not pallasch, but long thrusting sword. Such swords were especially used by (heavy) cavalry to penetrate chainmail (e.g. in wars with Turks). It has special name, which I do not remember in English (končíř in Czech or koncer in Polish)
Regards,
Martin
