The second and the fourth in Teodore's exhitit are what's called typical Polish-Hungarian swords. The first and the third can be whatever you wish: Persian, Turkish, Polish, Hungarian, Croatian etc.
Turks significantly influenced Hungary and Poles had very close relations with the Persians in their mutual animosity toward the Turks. Complete geopolitical mess but a very fertile ground for the exchange of weapon types.
