OK,back to dear home,and here are the photos promised.
First,Ruben,I think one of the sword you posted(the one with yellow and black grip) is a kopis and has a guard only from the left side.the guard is only the black thin part,the bronze one is the base of the scabard and not part of the hilt.
Here are the photos,One is in Ioannina Museum and the other in Dodona museum.I don't have further details about the time period etc.
