Thanks, Petar
The second sword pictured-- Switzerland, 60 BC-- might have been owned by a member of the Helvetii. Also, in this region the oldest known signed sword was found, signed by "KORISIOS." Notice how short sword #2 is, as compared to Sarmatian examples from the same period. Too bad it's the only blade shown.
