The translation does help, and the answer as to what specific swords were going to be traded it seems may be in the letters Howard Bayliss sent to General Wolf in conjunction with the letter(s) posted. Apparently Mr. Bayliss proposed a visit, and was going to �gift� him a sword in exchange for another that Wolf had purchased which also included a LW standarte.
Craig I think indicated that most (?) of the paperwork was with the sword, which I�m assuming also included letters from Bayliss to Wolf. Letters which could help clear up at least some of the mystery of what General Wolf was going to give in exchange. Did they ever have a face to face meet?
