Hello dear members,
Here is a sword I wanted to show you,
The guard and global shape make me think of an eastern sword, a polish or cossack sword.
But I saw sewed leather scabbards and pommel like this one on german 18th swords.
The large Z stamp can fix it I hope !
Glad to receive your comments
Kind regards

Hi
that´s an Austrian Füsiliersäbel (food soldier sable) M1765. Nice piece.

This "Z"-mark is possibly a wolf angle what was the mark of the Solingen firm Neuhaus.

Hello,
Thank's a lot for your useful reply !! :)
Really interesting, I read this Z "wolfAngel" mark could work as an old germanic rune protection symbol.
Is it the hilt without the hand guard that makes this sword a soldier model ?? ( and not grenadier...)
Personally, I prefer it that way :) , make me a little think of a shamshir or karabela shape.
I'll post other pictures when I get it !
Kind regards

For AHorsa,
The heraldic blason with the Z wolfsangel crampon .
Blason of a small town-village in Rhineland...

Good find, BBKing. But I am pretty sure the blade doen´t come from Idar-Oberstein.
that´s an Austrian Füsiliersäbel (food soldier sable) M1765. Nice piece.
Of course I meant "foot-soldier" not "food-soldier" :D
