Hi
I would question the two brass guard swords, the casting on the naval one is very rough and I do not think this is an issue item, grip wrapping looks v poor.
The one with the cross motif also looks not to be of the best quality either
The silver coloured guard sword looks to be better quality.
Might be a 1821 troopers sword or an artillery model
I aim looking on a phone do images are on the small size
I have robinsons book so will come back to you later on
Regards
K

I agree the first sword is a cheap Indian tourist item. The 1827 pattern Royal Navy sword seems a bit rough but I would not label it a fake without closer examination. Interesting that it seems to have the remains of a correct pattern sword knot attached. The other sword looks to be an 1821 British Light Cavalry Officers sword. The etching on the blade has all but been rubbed away but it obviously was etched. Troopers swords were not. Closer examination of the the latter two swords might reveal makers or traders names etched on the ricassos.
