One and a half Sword

I noticed that the 11/2 sword was auctioned this February 18 in Heidelberg as a ( probably) 18/19th century Victorian piece. The other sword in this auction a rapier, 19th century in the style of 50 years later around 1600, had a similar design of big characters in the fuller and similar engraved square dotted lines, as made in the same workshop?!
this made me a bit unsure about the authenticity of both pieces.

Assuming Hugo Schneider Griffwaffern1 knows very well the difference between an original and a 19thc piece along with the following fact; it seems that the same punch has been used for both 1 1/2 hand swords. (or is the mark in sword of post 1 engraved?) does give a better perspective.
