Stefan:

Nice lot to pick up.

The top one appears to be a Kurdish jambiya with a nice clean blade and typical raised central rib.

The middle one is a choora/pesh kabz/karud (pick the name you prefer and see threads elsewhere on this forum). I think it is probably 19th C.

The bottom one is an Ngombe ngulu sword once used to decapitate victims but later primarily a ceremonial instrument.

Congratulations on a good haul.
