Thx guys !


Hello Tristan,

But, in that case, is not it strange that the ranks of the concerned soldiers is not mentioned? Taken into account the quality of the piece, I believe it must have been worn by a high ranking officer, most likely from noble origine... As you know, by that time, aristocrats were well presented in the artillary units.
Could it not have been presented by the "fianc�e" (future wife )of the officer?


Hello Stingray,

No, I just buy a sword now and then... when I like it.
What about you?


I'll add a couple of better pics.

Best regards,

Herman
