European saber blade - request for ID
Hello, I am shifting this tread from the "Ethno Chapter", since - maybe it belongs here:
Enclosed please find photos of relatively ordinary saber found in Ethiopia. Please, does anybody know anything about NH + Son (fils) supplier ? Where does the blade come from ? The age ? - I think it could be end of 18th century (?). Could you appoint coat-of-arms: one-head eagle with the cross in the shield ? And also there is engraved cross set in the crown, on the blade. I cannot read properly the inscriptions. They could be significant for the allocation - "Blahmann ???, Solong...or Solingen ??? All parts of the sabre were used a lot, it visible both on the handle and the blade. Thanks for help. Martin |
