Well it seems that this most interesting topic, that of the mysterious 'pandours' of Europe, and their subsequent influence on European armies in the second half of the 18th century and beyond, has come up with an unmounted sword blade just posted by K Maddock.

While I did not mention that on the thread as yet, I wanted to note that although this topic brought some levity here, it is a most serious and fascinating subject in military history.

The blade he has posted has an etched military style motif of likely Napoleonic period, and the motif carries a figure of the mid 18th c. resembling pandour styles.

Check it out.
