European Napoeonic Wars Style Saber, ID?

[Jim McDougall]

Alex, actually I thank you for returning and responding to my post. I recall this sabre and thought it quite fascinating, and was surprised to see so little further response on it. The detail I discovered was of course speculative, but plausible in any case, and I am grateful that you found it helpful.

All the very best,
Jim

It's a beautiful sword Alex. I find that the unusual etching is maddeningly familiar, expecially the distinctive elephant head.
I echo Nando and Jims suprise that nobody else has come in on this one.

Tremendous (as usual) deductive reasoning from our own Mr McDougall.
It may be that you'll have to try a specialist group for the Napoleonic wars/era or as Jim suggests slightly later into the Victorian era.

Best
Gene

Edit: I was going to PM you a suggestion but your account doesn't accept private messages. Hopefully it's ok for me to suggest it here instead?
I can only think of one Napoleonic specific forum that might be helpful: www.napoleonicwarsforum.com
