A friend brought this sword to me. It appears to be a US 1840 sword except that I have never seen one with this type of basket. The only markings anywhere on the sword is the "S&K" makers mark on the blade. I know they made swords for many different countries. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian Rich
