hi, just picked up two swords, the first is the 1803 pattern grenadier company sword by jj runkel with solingen blade. the second sword is by osborn & gunby who i understand worked together from 1805 to 1820, the blade is unmarked bar the makers name and is shorter then the 1803 pattern and the blade is wider near the tip. I think this is a british flank company sword but would it of been used at the same time as the 1803 pattern was inforce.
