Military Sword Patterns In Fraternal Society's Use

Hotspur · 11th July 2009, 07:29 PM

One of my erstwhile endeavors is trying to keep track of some swords of society. I had gleeped this photograph with some interest because I ws more or less immediately ably to see a bevy of baldes (and babes) I recognized. Although widely dismissed as useless, the 1872 cavalry swords came in many flavors. A good many end up enscribed with owner names and fraternal organizations. Some day I do mean to pick up reference books for the society swords on a broader scale but right now, they are more of a simple and curious pastime.

Cheers

Hotspur; Ice cream (likely) in hand, here are some of a local group (undefined) brandishing their sabres. Lion pommel 1872s.

Oops, a better look at them
