two rapiers 19th century??

Today I was able to buy two rapiers along with an Italian cabbaset and a breastplate. According to the seller everything was 19th century copy and the price was also based on that. Now I'm not very knowledgeable about rapiers so maybe someone here can shed some more light on it. I'll make it two posts in connection with the photos. The first is 116 cm long and has a very sharp broad blade (remarkably wider than the second specimen). It certainly has some age but I can't say if it's 100 or 350 years old.
Perhaps the photos will tell you something.
