Hello,
Thank you Victrix and Sabertasche for your comments !
Really lovely nice silver hilt ( with turquoise stones ? )
Is it ''goldened'' silver ? what it seems on the picture.
1840 seems right with the shape of the mark ( cf Austrian hallmark book stamps )
In mine, I found amazing the skill of the goldsmith especially on the guard's face !
Sure, I don't think it was made for everybody.
What could be the price ? What is the right price now ?
I have an hussar blade without hilt and a shamshir blade,
I hesitate to assemble it together ?
The hussar model will be ok with the austrian/hungarian origin
The shamshir for the oriental period after Napoleon Egyptian campaign fashion...
