Title Officer's cavalry sabre, model 1904
Nationality Austrian
Period c 1914
Sold

This example has no maker's mark, but is a good clean pipe-back blade with a fine silver nickel finish, which, together with the hilt, is virtually 100% intact. There is some minor pickling of the plating to the scabbard. The knot is that of a Honved cavalry officer (Hungarian army) for the time of Kaiser Carl, 1917-18.

The parcel has arrived - at the time you indicated.

The sword lives up to expectations and looks even better than on the website. The detail and etching is superb.

Thanks so much for your help and the extra information.

The day the blunderbuss arrives I could not stop looking and feeling the gun for at least one hour. My wife told me that I was sick........ I am very happy, it is a piece of craftsmanship! Well made! I have 5 blunderbusses but all iron barrel, also from England but this one is gorgeous with the Brass Barrel.

Please keep me informed when you have any other type of blunderbuss. Thanks my friend!
