      Not the same sword for the most part. The 1st sword with a V shape tip has a special meaning to muslim Shias. Lots of them in Azerbaijan.

      Safavid Empire was Iran lol, Azerbaijani as a nationality or concept of a country didnt exist back then.

      What is today Azerbaijan was part of Iran until russia annexed it 100 years ago from Iran.

      The official name of the Empire in Safavid, Afsharid and Qajar times:

      Guarded Domains of Iran ممالک محروسه ایران (Persian) Mamâlek-e Mahruse-ye Irân

      Take a DNA test pan-tork.

      Also, the paternal ancestor of the Safavids was Kurdish and spoke Persian as their primary language lol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safi-ad-Din_Ardabili?wprov=sfti1#
