11 - Two more Muscovy sabres? They look a bit like some of the sabres in the "Battle of Orsha painting".

12 - Ottoman/Mamluk sabre (probably from early or mid 16th century??).. It's hilt is reminiscent of some sabres depicted in some portraits, like Jan Zamoyski's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Za...n_Zamoyski.PNG) & Jan Daniłowicz's(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Da..._Ruthenia).PNG). Portraits also posted above.

14 - Tomb effigy of Dobó István (1502 - 1572)
He died in 1572 at his home in Szerednye (a settlement located in present-day Transcarpathia, halfway between Uzhhorod and Munkács), and on 28 June his body was brought to Dobóruszka-HU/Ruská-SK (in the Koice Region of eastern Slovakia). The red-marble Renaissance sarcophagus made by his son Dobó Ferec around 1610. In the sanctuary of the church in Dobóruszka. The side panels of the tomb, which can still be seen here today, are original, but the famous cover is only a copy. The original marble tombstone cover can be seen today in the István Dobó Castle Museum in Eger, in the Heroes' Hall, complete with a copy of the side panels and a so-called "crab wolf" marble helmet that was later added to the tombstone. The following inscription can be read on it: "Here is the grave of István Dobó, who repulsed the thousands of armies of the Turks from the walls of Eger, and by an excellent triumph, he drove away the fate of Hungarian land. His son, Ferenc Dobó, claimed this memory to be truly worthy of national mourning." So, the effigy was made 52 years after his death! The photos are of the original. Difficult to tell if the sabre depicted here has very-long quillons like the Zrinski/Bebek/Bathory sabres. One quillon is noticeably longer than the other (fragmented though). PS: Don't worry, more dead guys to come!

15 - Tomb of Apaffy György (died in 1635 but the effigy was made in 1660-61), Church of Gyulafehérvár/Alba Iulia, Transylvania, Romania
Unfortunately the sabre on the effigy is heavily damaged, and the photos I found were not very helpful. So this one is just for info. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiboo...ja%2C_1660.png https://hu.wikibooks.org/wiki/F%C3%A...apja,_1660.png |
