Well guys I appreciate all the responses! The detective work is always fun, if not the best part about collecting antique weapons, though I want to consider myself a historian and not an antiquarian so the research will always continue, but this has come to an end for now at least.
I did my write-up on the piece and posted it to SBG Cheers! https://sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/t...mameluke-sword |

This is an absolutely brilliant look into these most interesting and attractive sabers JT!!! It makes very clear the resounding influence that these swords made on the British and French, and that Wellington, one of the most admired British leaders of his time, set the pace for these to become such prized swords in the British army. Thank you for sharing this here! Your example of the mameluke saber becomes so much more appreciated with this colorful background. |
