Wotan,

I mis-spoke when I said "all" of these silver colored lion head swords were controversial when I meant to say "many" of them are. Having said that, I still feel that the fake ones tend to negatively affect the legitimate ones.

I know there were silver colored lion head pommel swords worn during the time period. I showed an example of the Saxon Police Officer silver lion head. The silver colored Justiz eagle head sword is another example that came in both silver and gold colors depending upon who wore them. Sorry that I was not as precise as I should have been.
