Interesting about the blade lengths. The fuller patterns are so alike that I wonder if the French makers of the artillery sword took their inspiration from a sword similar to yours. Another amazing coincidence is that the overall length (including hilt) of my artillery sword is 63cm

Wouldn't it be easier to suggest the opposite: Persian master copying ( or prettifying) French example?
After all, he needed to make only one special order, whereas the French had to approve it as a regulation pattern and make thousands of them.

Indeed it could be. It would be helpful if we could establish the chronology of the items.
