Isn't this a nice charming piece ? ... sorry for the lack of modesty
An XVIII century Spanish colonial cavalry officer sword ( for Mexico?).
Blade 76 cms ( once shortened?); most probably of German origin.
The guard details would resemble the 1728 pattern for the Dragoons.
Although not much usual, the BBS marks on one side of the blade could be regimental. The marks on the other side appear impossible to decipher or even discern.
Well, a couple uncertainties on its ID and details, but that's as far as you can get with these things .
... However allways expecting someone to come by and dissolve some of the uncertainties ... which we adore and thank a lot.
For example, i don't think i ever had Marc's impression on it .
Are you there Marc ? .
