Those were, or are, used in student corporations, the duelling kind.
They pop up here and there in antique shops.
I almost bought one once in Munich, but it was a tad to expensive for my taste.

sabres
Mr Ingram,
given the hand protection, the recess for the thumb, and the leather for the finger, I would figure that these are sabres and not epees. The sabre will study the cut, which the epee neglects. These are surely older models. JCH
