I inherited my grandfather's collection 14 years ago and only just now have time to try and find out what each of the items are. If anyone is able to help I'd be greatly appreciative. I'm especially keen to find out as much as possible on the below 2 prussian swords as I intend to pass one each onto my sons when they turn 18.

The larger of the two is an issued Prussian KD89 cavalry saber. Is the photo of the scabbard with the 2GD3.9 of that sword? That is the unit mark for the 2nd Guard Dragoon Regiment. Does the guard of the sword have the same marks? The other sword looks like a KD89 Extra-Degen...a fancy private purchase piece. Is the blade engraved on that?
 
In the photo with 5 swords the one on the far left is a Prussian Infantry Officer's degen. The 2nd one in from the left might be Bavarian.

I will get more photos tonight as I have now confused myself with which images belong to which sword!
