I saw that recently on the auction site. Interesting, but it was live so I restrained myself from query/comment as that is not allowed here.

Well handled Fernando. So is the item now open to discussion as no comments have been issued thus far, or does it remain restricted?

G'day Fabrice,
My main area of interest is British swords of the Napoleonic Period, so I am no expert on these earlier swords, but I think you are on the right track. The overall look is of a slot hilt hanger, popular around the American Revolutionary War Period, but the blade profile is not typical for this period and looks a little later. The guard is as you noted very similar to that found on 1803 infantry officer swords. This sword does seem to be something along the evolutionary line that led to the 1803 pattern infantry officer's sabre, maybe circa 1780- 1790? Cheers, Bryce |

Hello Kronckew,
Yes indeed it was in auction and I did not know that it was not advisable to present an object in the course of sale. I will not do it anymore and apologize to the administrators. I found this sword so interesting and original that I was tempted to present it for opinion. I have some swords from Flank officers and I thought there was a family look. Maybe now that it is no longer auction, can you give your opinion on this "interesting" piece? Kind regards |
