Old sword

So, yes, one of the Weyersburg family used a rooster and also a Werth. The latter from 1887-1917. There was a fair amount of export from Solingen to the South American trade and as described previously the Argentine 1909 bolo has a quite similar grip but of a different blade profile. The short sword above fits that role of artillery fascine work quite well.

Perhaps a mention of where this sword surfaced might add a clue.

Cheers
