a friend of mine asked me if i could help him with this particular sword. unfortunately, my knowledge is limited to moro and filipino stuff, so i told him i could ask around.
what got my attention is the blade. i see damascus pattern on it. i didn't realized european blade can have such vivid pattern. the blade has a stamp on one side:" Freu (?) bis in den Tod", and on the other side "MEYERSBERG & STAMM SOLINGEN EISENHAUER". the handle appears to be wrapped in rayskin. unfortunately, no scabbard. my question is: from what era is this particular sword? is it a pretty common type? it appears to be a naval cutlass. thanks in advance. |
