Hi, I'm David and 'brand new' here. If you could help I'd be most appreciative. I have this sword. It supposedly was given by a particular French officer in 1813 - 1816 to someone who settled in Australia. It was in a house fire about 40 years ago which could contribute to its poor condition. Many thanks in anticipation
