SWORD for comment and I D please

[celtan]

Hi Gene,

Thanks for the kind words. This one is certailnly one of my favorites, I like the way it feels on my grip.

Which reminds me: I just let go of one of my swords, a US CW Cavalry saber that feels equally pleasant. A pity, I'm now sorry I placed it on auction, too late though, since I must honor my commitment. But certain swords do leave a pleasant feeling after handling them.

Back to the sword at hand. What characteristics makes one sword a Walloon?

Is this sword a Walloon?

These are quite varied, and produced for a long period. There is some variation in style, and yours is a rather fine one.
Some even have a single sided guard if memory serves.
