Two of these are very similar to the Zugmantel / Saalburg finds.
@Randallmoffett: they are. dating is up to 3rd century. 1/4" sheet is too thick. I began my reco with a 5mm sheet in a shape about 1/3 smaller than the original. Forged it to the original shape. The blade then had ~2mm on the edge and 5mm in the centre where the "tongues" hold the handle
