Can you help me identify these swords?

Hi, 

 

I saw these swords in an antique store the other day and was wondering which era they belong to..they look like army swords but the seller really have no idea or info about them. I was thinking of buying one of them..I opened some of them and their blade looked fine without rust..Not sure if they are signed or not..4th from the top was my favourite though..

Thank you!

Most of these swords are WWII era mounts but the blades themselves may be older. In the first picture, bottom blade, what's the price he's got on it? The one with the white grip and brass d-guard.

In the first photo, the 4th one appears to be slightly older mounts possibly.

Is there something on the backstrap ears on that last one, or is that wishful thinking?

 

All the best.
