Sold as a German sabre but I have also found a similar exemplar sold by Czernys as swiss.
Any comment on it will be welcome Best CERJAK |

Hi Cerjak,
swiss one. Jürg. A. Meier wrote and described a lot about that sabres As example look that online collection ... http://www.waffensammlung-beck.ch/waffe195.html Texts are in german. No to exclude, that bavarians and austrians were inspired by swiss style. Unfortunately nearly all weapons of the Carl-Beck-Sursee Collection nowadays are in depot! ![]() kind regards enibas |

I just wanted to point out that this style of engraving and with these almost caricature head figure correspond to the French style of the mid 18th century known as Caissagnard situated in Nantes but seems to have extended into Parisian artisans as well.
The thumb ring seems to correspond to Austrian and German hilts. |
