Hi Glen,

The first edition was published 1963, my edition with this addendum was published 1979. In your photo's is the top saber the same as the lower one, the scabbard looks different.

Hi Jeff,

I'll have to look at my folder again and it may have been another artillery sword from the same source. One is showing the scabbard with the throat removed. Otoh, it may be a picture with the non-historical brass throat lumped in with those files. I know the fellow was selling more than one with brass retrofits. Someday I'll figure out how to show the thumbnails in folders automatically while browsing instead of just the names. Folder preference settings somewhere got confused between drives.

It was the etch itself that really might be of interest.

Cheers

Hi Guys,

There have a lot of interesting contacts regarding our sword. I will let everyone know the most recent info as soon as I have time to wind down and write.

Also, just got the Photographic Supplement to my Albaugh's. Nice reading!

Best
