A sword
5 Attachment(s)
Lol.I can define this thing just as a sword with real,strong fighting blade with a thick and ladder like shaped back and a fantasy like strange hilt (but quality material,I guess bronze). I request as much info as possible from dear forumites.

This fantasy looking hilt is of rapier but seems to be late 19th or even 20th century. I have in my museum few examples even more weird than yours, made of copper or bronze, mostly cast, not even engraved, so quite poor quality. There were quite popular in 19th century as "historical" objects, or just for parade. Your sword seems to have a blade of pallasch, maybe small-sword, but if you give some measurements of this blade I could compare it with other objects just to be sure.
I'm not sure of this "ladder" on the blade. I saw something like this on mediterranean knives from 18th c. but of course similarity od these weapons in this case doesn't mean anything (IMO). Best regards |
