Scandinavian cutlass M 1801 for Chasseurs / Hunters

[celtan]

Hi Kisak, Your m/1748 and m/1808 look like m/1853s to me. They have the knuckleguard screwed to the pommel.

What's the difference?

I have both the purported dansk m/1801 and a couple svensk m/1856s {HUGGAREsvensk, m/1856 (förändring av huggare m/1748)}, and the blades are of different length and width. Plus the latter has a thin fuller close to the spine.

These is mine also:

The hilt is quite different, but the blade does seem like it might be of the same "family" as the Swedish infantry cutlass m/1748 and it's descendants (various variants of it seems to have been used well into the 19th century, in the case of the infantry I'm under the impression that it was kept around until the m/1848 fascine knife took over).

The picture with the hirschfänger on the left has an m/1748 in the middle. The picture with the broken saber to the left has a cutlass m/1803 for infantry troopers in the middle, and cutlass m/1808 for infantry troopers on the right.
