Here is a an officer’s version (pallash).
http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...t=30434&page=2 See post #34. My great uncle (see photo) served with the Royal Norrlands Dragoner (dragoons) regiment numbered K4 (k for kavalleri). They were based in Umeå in the North of the country. They wore dove blue-grey uniforms with orange collar patches. These swords are only sharpened for war and mine isn’t. It may well be that the sword in the post was sharpened for the Finnish civil war. Can’t see why it was sharpened otherwise. The sword was not worn but suspended in a frog from the saddle of the horse.
