The sword arrived.

On the spine it is written in cursive:
Real Fabrica de Toledo. Aņo de 1818

On the brass hilt J.VALVANERA. No other markings.


Thus the blade comes from a Spanish cavalry trooper sword model 1815. Not a common one. Good surface condition but blunt point and edges. Awful balance some 19cm from the cross.

The grip I think it is ivory not bone.
