My best guess they are souvenir-type renditions of indo-persian swords in the arapusta style ( serrations on both the edge and the back). They seem to be rather small and extremely curved, making them less than ideal for real fighting. Wall-hangers rather than weapons.

If memory serves me right, there is a senior member on vikingsword who recently posted a picture of a short sword with a similar hilt and an extremly curved blade (no serrations). His was authentic but I cant seem to remember who it was... Let me see if I can find that thread now
