Please help identify a couple of swords

[Gmitch]

I've owned a couple of swords for quite some time but never knew what their history was. I'd like to sell them, but have no idea their value. On this site I did find one of them belongs to the Knights of Pythian order, but can't find any distinguishing info to search for the other sword. Can anyone help and express what sort of value these carry?? Thanks.

the other might be a religious frat sword like --knight of columbus

wording on the blades and close ups of the hilts designs would be a great help

The sword on top with the black handle is a Knights of Columbus ceremonial sword. It is used almost exclusively for ceremonies and public gatherings. My dad is a KoC and has a number of them around the house.

The one on top is from The Order of St Johns Hospital, or Knights of St. John I'm not sure on the age, but late 1800 early 1900's maybe? As far as prices, 150$ - 200$ maybe, somewhere in that area, and they could go a little higher since yours are pretty nice looking examples.
