Back on topic, the kard is likely NW India/afghanistan. Another of mine has been called a bosnian kard. Blade may be wootz.

Lovely!
The blades may be wootz. Did you consider trying to etch them? Norman's looks like a bichaq from the Balkans... I guess... |

There is a very beautiful, "curly" structure, similar to the wootz pattern on the blade of your Ottoman kard. |
