Let's see shall we

Close Range 

The Broadsword wins here. The it weighs more, thereby giving it more more cutting power and expanding that point can actually be used as both a cutting and thrusting weapon. The Officer's sword is primarily a thrusting weapon and while it can be used to slash that isn't it's intended purpose and won't be as effective.

Edge: Hessians 

Mid Range

These are essentially the exact same weapon there only difference is that they were created by a different obsolete war hungry empire. I'm sure somebody will comment below to let me know of the various minor variations between each but I doubt any small differences are going to give one an edge over the other.

Edge: Even
