This is a magnificent example, and was anxious to see Corrado come in.....as he is the true authority in these areas of East European esoterica. It is always daunting as for many years there has been a plague of reproductions of these kinds of rare sabers, but the true age on this can be seen past the cleaning that has been done.

The FRINGIA inscription has long been a conundrum, so I wanted to link a previous discussion and hope we can look a bit into the history of these Hungarian sabers, which set the pace for European 'hussar' cavalry units.
