My apologies for speaking too soon. The other sword had recently been sold. That blade is on a 17th C Campaign sword. Exactly like yours except longer and "Roy" is spelled "Roi".
Here were their thoughts on these blades.- "Its the blade of what the French called a forte épée the type first turned up on German swords around 1550. This one is indeed first half of the 17th century and shortened, these are very rare. With this inscription it were used by guard regiments of the French king, could be Royal Guards, could also be musketair du roi , Royal dragoons etc." |

Hello,
Thank you all for your opinion that seems similar to mine. The blade is 65 cm and it was shortned for sure,the wood parts are at least from XIX century (somebody adapted the sword for hunting), the engravings are very important they show special symbols like the liz flower! I would like to restore this sword any pictures of original swords similar to this one ? Regards, BV |
