Pertinax, thank you so much for sharing these outstanding examples! As I noted we dont have much on Scandinavian swords here overall, but it is great to have these as a point of reference.

Perhaps you might share details, for example you note this as a rare sea service sword,. What periods did it cover (M1824 but how long in use?) and the reigns of this monarch and other figure....what years etc?

While it is a beautiful sword, the historic details add valuable dimension in appreciating it further!

The dolphin zoomorphic is fantastic! was this unique or seen on any other Swedish or other swords.
