Looks like a WW1 german offices sword that has been cut down.

Hello mayralphie. I very much like the modifications to the blade it was cut down fairly clean. If I had to guess based off the given picture the sword was a NCO German dress variety . But cleanly done as well. I can't authticate it as good or bad. my evaluation confidence isn't quite there yet. But I do like it. Thanks for showing us your pictures. I hope soon you receive great news from a fellow member more knojwledgeable than myself.: Best regard.

I agree with the above comments re the cut down sword.

The other blade pictured is an E.G. Waterman knife.

german artillery NCO sabre or mostly NCO sabre, made by Coppel in 1935. Totally shortened and reworked to knife.

Interesting conversion from sword to fighting-knife...we've seen a few of these on the Forum...
