Its very interesting, however I think there is also a possibility that the swords were from Egypt, but not Egyptian made - they could've been simply considered to be nessesary add-ons to mamluks (like "action figure comes with a gun") ?

Probably it was wrong for me to offer my opinion (cause I don't know much about the makers of mamluks swords), so I really hope someone clarifies this question for us.
