Default Ottoman " shamshirs"

Here are 2 Ottoman Kilic Acemi ( pronounced Kilidzh Adzhemi), or " Persian swords".

I can send better pics, but they will have to be resized. Any help with it?

Generally, they resemble Mamluk swords with less pronounced Yelmans, and there are opinions that they are predecessors of the Pala. Any opinions?
