Have you tried to contact Jean Bink, Manolo ?
jeanbck@hotmail.com It appears that he knows a lot about (this type of) European swords. I am not revealing any secret by quoting his adress, as it figures in this Forum 'Ethnographic Edged Weapons Resource Site' . Fernando |

Hi Guys,
No doubt whatsoever. This one is Dutch. The site has several swords and their pics, I compared them to mine and all the details are there. They state the sword is based on the Russian M1826. Also found a pic on Wither's book of a russian tsarist Infantry M1855 sword, very, very similar to this one, albeit the pommel was flat. I'll contact the guy nonetheless. Thanks! M BTW: Just changed the name of my image folder in Photobucket, so the first images may not load. The new address is http://s353.photobucket.com/albums/r...antry%20Saber/ Last edited by celtan; 25th September 2008 at 04:53 PM. |

Haven't found any marks so far. The two pictures were taken from the oldswords site, and are identical to my saber, right down to the portepee...
