Ok, the text read very much like an

The hilt is quite different, but the blade does seem like it might be of the same "family" as the Swedish infantry cutlass m/1748 and it's descendants (various variants of it seems to have been used well into the 19th century, in the case of the infantry I'm under the impression that it was kept around until the m/1848 fascine knife took over).

The picture with the hirschfänger on the left has an m/1748 in the middle. The picture with the broken saber to the left has a cutlass m/1803 for infantry troopers in the middle, and cutlass m/1808 for infantry troopers on the right.
