hi. can anybody please identify this sword's nationality and age?
On the spine writes "peter mumm klingen fabriquant sohlingen". peter mumm is a blades firm which began operating in 1695? and continued in 18th c. as far as I can understand from the pages in Germen I was only able to find about on the web. Coat of arms on the blade looks like Russian to me,correct?
Scabbard is thick solid steel covered on wood,making it nearly as heavy as the blade itself.

regards
