Hi, I have a small collection of relatively modern swords and have been having trouble identifying them. Please can you help me identify the century and possibly the country and regiment.
Sword_1
Sword_2
Sword_3
Sword_4
Sword_5
Sword_6
Sword_3 and Sword_6 seem to be originals. I'm not sure if Sword_1 is a replica or not.
I'm still relatively new to collecting swords, so I think the 2 with the obvious bolts on top of the handle are very modern replicas.

Hey, sword 2, 4 and 5 are obvious replicas. Sword number 3 though, even though less obvious is still a replica. A fairly common one, telltales are the leather grip as opposed to shagreen and the lack of a ricasso and proper etching. Sword 6 is indeed an original. It is a French sword for military justice officer M. 1853. The first sword I have seen before in a German context and is definitely original. I won't be able to tell you at the moment though what it is exactly.
