Thank you Norman for the reply!

I was purely curious, and that's why I asked.

I wish you success with refitting the blade (if you decide to do it)... but if it were mine, I would keep it as it is (for the reason that I can't possibly make any fittings myself and it will be a time consuming work)!

Hello Norman,

the blade is a Montmorency type, with a big and a small fuller to add more stiffness to the blade. This type was pretty popular in the late 18th and early 19th century, the French Model 1822 as a mass produced saber for example. The blade is pattern welded steel, probably of european origin and could be up to 200 years or more old. Almost 100% not 20th ct..

Roland
