Two Wootz Shamshirs for Comments

Hey all,

I got these today. Not exactly flashy and all but looks to be real wootz. Top one seems to be Sham wootz while the lower seems to be dark Persian wootz that could use some etching. The bottom one has a wootz crossguard and some strange weld almost like scarf weld but at the spine it looks as if its a discolouration rather then a weld, I'll leave it to more expert comments.

Both swords are Iraqi in use and decoration btw.
