Portuguese cavalry sabre for sale
Three bar hilt Cavalry Officer Pattern 1886. Faint marks on guard still read FA 1897 6218 ... meanning Arms Factory year 1897 nš 6218.
Not a top grade condition piece, specialy the scabbard, which is not considered in the price. Heavy blade, 10 m/m thick and 85 m/m long; in a good condition, except for the tip, which is complete but has little some disturbances; easy to even up with some filing, though. Portuguese swords are not easy tob find, in any condition. Selling for 220 Euros. Fernando |
