Hi,
these are alle territories in former Germany: archbishops land: Mainz and Trier, Cölln (Colongne) and Territories: Sachsen, Pfaltz, Brandenburg, Bayern (Bavaria), Mecklenburg, ? "Für" means for. and the rest maybe "Ihro Kaiserlich. Majest." meaning "The royal majesty" Maybe a Signature when the Germany Country was build out of the autonom Kingdoms in 1871 (Reichsgründung) Dirk |

Don't know about the markings, but pattern is circa 1750-ish, based on large pas 'd ane, flat/pierced outward-jutting guards, etc. Has it been silvered, chromed? Painted? The surface just looked a little too shiny for me?

Hi Karlo,
Nice sword. Steel hilt? Nice silver wire binding. Could you possibly post a picture of the hilt next to a ruler/measure so I can compare the dimensions with a childs smallsword of mine? |
