Those 'hallmarks' are certainly not British.
They look possibly islamic. Regards Richard |

My guess is for a recent production (pre current troubles), from Syria and made for the KSA and nearby states dance or wedding market. https://www.thenational.ae/world/gcc...tures-1.706657

It's definitley British
Sorry Guys, but its a brittish pattern sword.
The hilt has the crossed Sword and Batton for the 1831 pattern British Mamaluke and the retailer has been identifed at German 1830-1860. In the 1860's these General and Staff officer swords where sometimes produdced in steel rather than brass. This one appears to have been a special order given the elaborate scabbard bands and the pin holds indicating it would have had a dedication plark at some stage. The marks look typically german, however I am yet to attribute them to a particular maker. looks like I will need to continue plodding through my german books on Soligen. Cheers Cathey |
