Thank you for this link, this beauty comes pretty close to my one but survived in much better condition. I have read, that there has been two versions of the falchion, a European and a Oriental version but without further explanation. The variant with the s-shaped guard seems to be the Oriental Version or Oriental inspired version. |

That makes sense. Normally such dates are more artistic made, never just stamped in the middle of the surface with simple marking stamp. In my opinion the number is a kind of inventory number of an old weapon collection. Just a guess. Roland |
