Hmmm...the 'Mad Guesser' would venture French? The bars of the guard resemble many of the types used during the Napoleanic Period (Cuirassiers, Carabinier's, etc). Also, the plain grooved brass grip so typical on French naval types, plus the multitude of briquet patterns. Austria also used similar patterns. The broad, straight dragoon-type blade is impressive! That would mow down an opponent when used on horseback!

It's very similar to the m1831 Danish heavy cavalry sword-

You posted photos of an item currently offered for sale on eBay--a forum rule violation. Simply because you contrived to avoid mentioning eBay does not mitigate your rule violation. In fact, an argument could be made that you attempted to bypass the rules via obfuscation. Don't do it again, please. |
