Well Jim, you are mostly right - but I doubt very much that the sword is Danish, as I have not been able to find a sword looking like that in 'Danske Blankvaaben'.

Hi Jens,
I agree, in checking Moller I didn't see anything close, and the strap over pommel is really unusual. Perhaps US has something with the blunted point, which I failed to notice, and this could well be one of those sabres.
All the best,
Jim
