Is there any existing classification of the flamberge blades?

As I understood, on sight all of them fall in two different types, and the difference between them lies in the method of making the waves - first type is a "snake-like" (when the the whole body of the blade was made waved, which is clearly shown at the example from the first post), and the second is "saw-like" (when the body of the blade was of it's usual shape with the saw-like edge, like those shown at the book and the perfect one from the last post by cornelistromp).
