Rooster/Cockerel Blade-Mark/-Stamp
 
Hullo everybody,:)

I would be most grateful for any information on, or photos of, blades from the 19thC. marked/stamped with a rooster/cockerel.

Best,

HI

I don't have a picture handy but one maker using the rooster and or cockerel was Gebruder Weyersburg. A page I came across mentions his marks

http://ww2.rediscov.com/spring/VFPCG...TABASE=objects,

midtenrelics.com has an 1840/1822 type sabre with the mark and it is those that I have seen the mark on before.

What do these other blades look like? I have no isea of the longevity of the marks and whether Weyersburg might have continued using it for some blades such as those headed for South and Central American countries.

Cheers

Hullo Hotspur (used to be the name of one of my favourite comics as well as that of my football team):),

Thanks for your pointer. I think the blades you refer to are of the cavalry sabre. I managed to get pictures of them.

At this stage, I don't know what I'm looking for, but I'll know it when I see one (if that makes any sense to you).

Best
