And the expert steps forward! Great information, Kronckew! I've never actually seen one of these before, but thought I'd wager a guess! It isn't a big surprise to me that it could be Swiss, as many of their weapon forms were Germanic in form (i.e. hirschfanger). Odd that a sharp-shooter unit would have such a large sword, compared with an infantry type. Bryan, sounds like you're found a keeper-

Many thanks!
Thank you kronckew ! I had mistakenly thought it may be a Scandinavian huggaren of some sort, as it is well made, and it's solid, simple construction is similar to a Swedish fascine knife I had some time ago.
Cheers for the anecdote! It reminds me of the Desert Storm Iraqi AK-47 rifle for sale, never fired, dropped once! |
