Just my $.02.
I see no other purpose to them, other than decorative or theatrical.
19th c. markings on the blades were not removed in attempt to deceive.

The stars in constellation with the moon are attributed by Bezdek to the Schimmelbusch family of bladesmiths. I'm sure there were others with similar marks.
