Those are some really nice swords. It's really nice to see something that was actually built for combat rather than display. I like the shape and design of the second one, although the blade looks a little thin for a curved blade sword, at least to me. The first one is good too, looks like it would have made a fairly decent dueling sword.

At the bottom of the blade there's the "Artillery" inscription, a serial number and the origin, "Toledo":(let me first say that I'm not even close to being a sword scholar) The design on that sword's hilt looks Arabic... I wouldn't even want to try and date it, other than to say it looks pre-Rennaissance.
