WTB: French AN XIII pistol
I am looking to buy a French AN XIII flintlock pistol. Would consider a trade with a French AN XIII cuirassier's sabre or a British flank officer's sabre circa 1800.

Hello Glen,
I think that the 2nd sword of Simons is a composite sword. It has a British officer's P1976 hilt painted black and it has lost its quillon and has had a very basic wooden grip fitted to...

Hello Simon,
I'm pretty sure that the hilt isn't from a British P1796. The guard is very lightweight and not particularly well made. I would say that the sword is of German manufacture.

Hello Terry,
I think that the reason that the numbers have been crossed out is because the sabre has been re-issued after being in storage and then given a new rack number.
The letters AGN probably...

Thank you Fernando.
There were less than 500 of the type two sabre and scabbard made, so it is a very rare item.

Hello Richard,
The blade is marked 'Osborn Warranted' on the back of the blade close to the hilt. The Osborn part of the inscription has lost its gilding and is hard to photograph.
