here. Each of the three examples I've shown were considered the auction sites to be of French manufacture and made during approximately the WWII period. Each site advertised it as an unusual sword. It would seem that the French either made it for other nations or others copied them.
Clockwork, if no further information is forthcoming here, I'll move it over to the European forum where you might get a more detailed response.
