Original 19Th Century Us European Import Infantry Sword
19th century sword import sword i have done a lot of research on this one and i have found that the blade looks like a infantry officer blade and the handle looks somewhat like a dragoon sword. I have shown this to a number of collectors and the consensus is that it is an original early 1800s up to the civil war period item.
Proabbly of european origin. Any information on this will be appreciated, except from know-it-alls that just want to inform em i don't know what i'm talking about.
We all know the type the blade measures 34 1/8 inches long. The base of the blade is thick and heavy duty, it measures 1 1/8 inch x 5/16 inch. Overall length of the sword is 39 inches. The scabbard measures 35 inches long. The blade has engraving on both isdes and the top.
It has a gradual taper all the way down its length. The blade is in good condition. There are some sparpening maks and some very light surface rust in a few spots. I have not cleaned or treated this blade. I just gave it very light treatment of oil. The handle and guard are made from brass. The grip is wodo covered leather. The back of the handle has smoe white paint on it where it rubbed against a wall. There are no manufacturers markings anywhere on this. I have been told this was the case with many european swords that were sold on the world market so their origin could nto be discovered.
