Thank you for your thoughts about the sword. The blade is 63 cm, so much longer than the artillery sword mentioned. The blade is of high quality, the blade is flexible. The silver inlays are well done. I have also thought about some kind of a mix of parts, but then made a long time ago. 1800s? I bought it anyway because I just like the look and feel of the sword! It does look like something from the lord of the ring!

Interesting about the blade lengths. The fuller patterns are so alike that I wonder if the French makers of the artillery sword took their inspiration from a sword similar to yours. Another amazing coincidence is that the overall length (including hilt) of my artillery sword is 63cm |

Wouldn't it be easier to suggest the opposite: Persian master copying ( or prettifying) French example? After all, he needed to make only one special order, whereas the French had to approve it as a regulation pattern and make thousands of them. |
