I have one with a mint French military blade (haven't found out which pattern yet), one with a German light cavalry blade and one with a British patten 1796 hatchet point (unfortunatelly this one is badly rusted.).

Ive just seen the other sword. The writing on the ricasso reads:

GHKHA & Co

HARRAR

Now I know that harrar was a town in Abyssinia, but does anyone know what the letters in the first line says?
