Hi Folks,
Found this cheap in a market, came with a carpet. My guess is a Napoleonic era boarding cutlass. Nice balance, like a short cavalry sabre, a keeper. I am assuming French, (Russian?) No makers marks present that I can see. There are pattern weld effects at points along the blade, I don't know if that's what it is or if this is old corrosion. Very slight looseness of blade in hilt. -Klingenthal blade? scabbard ok, chape has come off (seller helpfully/unhelpfully taped it back on when my back was turned). Just as a comment on how absurd life can be, it was $50.. Any pointers as to what it might be much appreciated. Jon MB Last edited by Jon MB; 6th December 2017 at 04:09 PM. |
