Great information on all accounts.The sword is indeed an Austrian Prima Plana Grenadier sword which looks like the M1767, however the knucklebows are thinner on the earlier models as opposed to mine as M ELEY noted, so maybe they are a later transition model, also noted by M ELEY ?
I was also surprised to learn that there were between 30,000 to 37,000 Hessian soldiers that fought in the American Revolution;I had no idea that the number was so high!
