Swiss Sword
Picked up this Swiss sword, always admired the Swiss, and I have a German aunt & Swiss uncle there. Säbel für unberittene Offiziere. (sabre for unmounted officers).
Any Idea how old? Solingen blade, Pipe back, quill point. Few dings on the scabbard. Pipe backs are not too good for cutting, but look cool, always liked the raised 'yelman' look on the back of the quill point ones, this is my first. Have an Italian Mounted artillery officer's sword with a pipe back spine but no 'yelman'. Anyone know how to remove the dents? Thanks for any info you can provide.
