Could anybody more closely allocate this Hussar sword ?

Hello Martin,
It doesn't look like the blade has been shortened after seeing your last two photos. It does have a really meaty looking blade.

I have a copy of the Dolleczek book they mention ... the sabre is from the 1748-68 period as it is fairly plain, but brass mounted. It would appear to be an NCO's weapon as the men tended to have plain scabbards.

Thank you so much for posting this Lee, and my thanks to the anonymous donor!!!
Its great that our 'cold case' system works so well, and that it is clear that people our still reading our ols threads even years later. I hope all the fantastic material archived here will stand for many years as a useful resource for those inclined to study arms.

All best regards,
Jim

Thank you Lee.
This sabre is my "pleasure". The mountings are silver plated brass.
Regards,
Martin

Hi, here are two of my sabres, they are both takes on the earlier austro hungarian sabres. The first is a french sabre,from around 1767 and you can see that it takes its form from the earlier weapon. The second is the 1796 british light cavalry sabre and again you can see the earlier sabres form in the blade. Michael
