I really like your last Italian example. Very unique blade.
Bob

Thanks Bob, it is definitely unique. In 1908 a law was enacted in Italy which forbade pointed blades longer than 2", but a sheep foot blade up to 4" was allowed.

*Edited to add- most examples I have seen are of a very squared off tip rather than some sheepfoot styles. Not having a point was the point!

This one has a high hollow grind and is similar to a razor. It's approximately the size of a GEC 15.

Thanks so much for the additional information. Very interesting history.
