Persian Sword and please to tell me

Hi Oswin and welcome to the forum.

Why do you only comment on the first sword, and not on the second, the one with the Indian hilt?

Is the inscription on the blade from the first sword? The inscription looks more like Thai or one of the languages used in that area, the way the hilt is fitted to the blade too, like Rick writes.

Is it possible to get better pictures of both swords with details of the inscription(s)?

Does the two blades have a T spine?

The first sword could very well have been/be a rehilted Sailaba/Sossun Pata, the second one with the Indian hilt surely is a Sailaba/Sossun Pata, but the inscription is a puzzle.
