swedish cutlass ?

Better with these no pdf pictures,
I had problems to insert them this morning...

Now that the pictures are ok !...

The cutlass-knife came with this item sold as a dagger,

I think more a shortened sword,
maybe an european british model ?

I think the brass handled one is a Bandsman's short sword.

No, as far as I'm informed this is the Swedish infantry side arm (Faschinenmesser) M 1848

Hello Thank you David and Corrado for your comments !

Thank you David for the Bandsman short sword info,
I like the brass lion's head
I thought about a shortened sword because the blade ends
in a strange way...
What do you think ?

Kind regards

Here some more fotos of the Swedish knife M 1848

Thank you Corrado,

Yes sadly the scabbard is missing !...

I wonder why the are so many ''differents marks'' or blacksmiths/factory
for exactly the same model ?

( why I was asking about ''my'' stamps )

It's hard to say with these things, there are umpteen variations on the theme, and they were not (as far as a know) really regarded as a weapon so much as a uniform accessory, like buff leather belts and epaulettes. Not my speciality area, and I have little doubt but that others will weigh in with more and better information.
