I think you are right Fernando and that it is indeed a spoon. Maybe for sugar or something like that.

It looks to me like a tool made from the blade of a sword. No idea what its for.

I suspect the B addition stands for Busch, so they split their last name. But I'm not 100% sure. Maybe someone else has details about that?
I learned that B.S.B stands for Benjamin Schimmelbusch...

Thanks for your response Jim! Indeed, Bavaria has nothing to do with it and neither does Dusseldorf. But because I was looking for a lion resting on a standing anchor, I came across the coat of arms...

Thank you Pertinax! It looks similar, but this lion also has a double tail and leans on a shield instead of an anchor.

Dutch navy poniard?

I bought this poniard last week. It is clear to me that it is a navy poniard and probably Dutch. The use of a poniard with the same type of grip was also fashionable for a while in the British,...

I am not sure. If it ever started its life as a sword, it looks as if it was once stuck in the ground for a long time. You would expect the handle to have rotted away in that case.

But then...

It looks like some kind of Indo persian Kulah khud type helmet. The fact that all the rings are riveted makes it clear that it is an old one.

Thank you Radboud! Nice to see that you have an almost identical one! Was "Rys" the maker of the saber or is this also a Solingen production?

Dutch hussar saber

On the last day of 2023 I would like to show you my latest acquisition and ask a question about the manufacturer of the blade.
I bought this last month, not far from me, from a family where someone...

Interesting piece! The "Turk head" decoration is something you often see on late 18th/early 19th century European sabres.

Welcome to this forum Bob! The helmet seems quite new to me. I don't see any patina, the edges are all sharp, there even seem to be some burrs on the air holes. The armor mark also looks very fresh....

What is the total length and the length of the blade? It looks like it has been shortened and made into a somewhat long dagger.

Hi Jim, Thanks for your response, I really appreciate it! The saber does indeed look similar. I'll look into the Polish sabre. Hadn't thought of that yet. And that is also what makes it so difficult...

I have had several of this type (parang nabur). Perhaps a decorated or undecorated scabbard has more to do with the price a buyer was willing to pay for it.

Apparently this type of decoration was very fashionable at the time. I see it on sabers of different nationalities.

Flanking officer saber?

Received this saber today. I saw it at an auction and since no one was bidding on it I couldn't resist. It has quite a curve (11cm) and a clipped point. length 90cm. At the base it is almost 1cm...

To me, the modern hinges are a clear indication that it is a copy that has been artificially aged.

Thanks Jim for your response! I really looked into rapiers today. Apparently the length is not exceptional and there was a period when this was the standard. Despite that, it remains a strange sword....
