A saber of unknown origin and age
Hello there,
I would like to ask for advice when it comes to this saber I bought today at a Polish online auction. My knowledge about sabers from after 1800 ist very sparse, but nevertheless I was interested in that sabers blade and so I bought it. The auction description has been "An officers saber from before world war I". And that was it, nothing more. The scabbard looks very funny to me and somehow not matching the weapon, but that i secondary for me. There is a stamp on the knuckle-bow: "MORSDD*C*" or "MORSUD*C*", I may be wrong. Something shall be 95 cm long here, the seller didnt specify if it is with or without scabbard, just the blade (I doubt it) or whatever. I attach all photographs from the auction and wait for the arrival now. I also hope the image resolution wont be awful on your display, if so, apologies! Hope you can help and thanks a lot in advance. Last edited by awdaniec666; 24th September 2021 at 10:24 PM. Reason: added image of lion head from above |
