Yuri, thank you so much!!! beautiful Spanish saber!

Will, it seems like Wooley always favored the Montmorency blade cross section on his M1788 lt. cav. sabers, while Gill in same model preferred the hollow ground more standard cavalry blades typical of Solingen in these times which were curved.
It seems curious that Yuri's example with Weyersberg stamp at forte is Montmorency, which seems atypical of Solingen.
