Sabre with unknown origins

On the tulwar the dots I feel are Indian motive. This was either a trade item or most likely a captured item that someone decided to customize. To whomever had it he would have known it or called it a shamshir (sword), and the other one would have been known as a saylaawa , Khyber knife is not what they are called, some areas may call it shuray , but mostly known as saylaawa. The writing are poems just need better pics of areas indicated with arrows.
