You will pardon me but, there must be a rational limit for variations; otherwise anything may be similar to anything else.
Or, let's say that i admit not being keen enough to discern the familiarity with such variations .
Also i confess i am much influenced by some scholar who says that, the position of the tang, in relation to the blade, is a vital symptom.
... Like when the tang in centered with the blade means German (Visigod and other), and when it is projected from the back edge would be Iberian.
Hope you get my meaning .
