Different types of Peshkabz'

A discussion on another thread, gave me the impression that there was some confusion as to what a Peshkabz was/is.

In P.Holsteins book Contribution A L’Etude des Armes Orientales, 1931. Vol. II, plate XX, the author shows a few types, both when it comes to different grips but also with different types of blades.
From left to right:
#94 Peshkabz, Afghan or Peshawer.
#107 small Kard Indo-Afghan.
#6 Peshkabz, Indo-Afghan, Lahore, Punjab.
#25 Peshkabz, Indo-Afghan or maybe Afghan, Peshawer.
#141 Peshkabz, Indo-Afghan, Lahore.
#32 Peshkabz, Indo-Afghan, Punjab or maybe Afghan.
#12 Peshkabz, Indo-Afghan, Bhawalpur, Sind. See Egerton, plate XIV, #717. On page 138 Egerton writes, “Presented by H.H. the Nawab of Bhawalpur.”
#15 Peshkabz, Indo-Afghan, Delhi the Mongol period.
#235 Peshkabz, Afghan.
