1st picture shows the arched "C. E. Schmachtenberg, Solingen" mark on an 1881 Russian sword. 2nd picture is the 1881 Russian sword. 3rd picture is a Russian 1881 sword with German blade by "C. E. Schmachtenberg, Solingen" with "Proved" under a crown on the other side of the tang. These two swords and my German hunting dagger are the only pictures of blades by C. E. Schmachtenberg, Solingen that my research has found. "Research is subject to change", a quote by Mildred Clark.
