Hi Francantolin, I feel bad as my sword was one of the first blades I posted when I joined this Forum! Since then I've gently cleaned it and reassembled the scabbard but that's it. I should have been farther along in its resurrection!. Stylistically, my sword is silver gilt with turquoise and white enamel. Apparently, this was a common decorative combination post Napoleon.
If you are adding a spare blade to your hilt the good news is that these swords had all manner of blades mounted. Mine is a lightweight blade but some have battle weight blades mounted. If you search "Hungarian Magnet sword" you will see the many, many varieties of this type. Cheers, Greg |
