1796 LCS - Early Woolley Blade with Later WDD Scabbard?

efrahjalt · 14th April 2025, 11:19 PM

Started cleaning it up. Looking a little better. Still more cleaning to do, but in the process I noticed a couple more marks that could be helpful for dating/identification. Further up the spine there are two letter Bs marked. I’ve read today these are to make the balance point before and after hilting. I’m not sure if that is correct. I’ll have to check if that holds any water next time I handle the sword. Any further thought on dating or other details are welcomed.
