Austrian sword for identification and comment
Hi,
Anybody knows anything about this particular sword model? Austrian for sure. Maker A.Striberny. Unusual brass grip. Seems like hussar cavalry sword. A composite? Last edited by Valjhun; 16th October 2014 at 06:52 PM. |

astute observation Multumesc.
At a closer look it really seems that the grip is modified from a common briquet. |

One wonders about the guard as well, it's rather roughly cast and not well finished. Hard to see but the tang nut looks to be modern?
