Hungarian hussar saber around year 1750, bearing inscription FRINGIA on the right side of the blade, in very good condition, long very nice blade, there are (i got one) more decorated examples, this one is more battle example, than show of decorated one (which were allso used in battle, just more richly decorated).

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. |

Im glad you like it, il now post pictures of another one, it is more finely decorated, and has older blade, but without inscription.
