Unknown Sword
12 Attachment(s)
I recently picked up this European sword that I can not identify.I think the double headed eagle and the shield on the scabbard might be clues.I doubt that it is Russian or Polish, but I think it could be Austrian.
I know it may not be clearly visible, but there are two eagle heads, with a crown on top. Any help would be appreciated. |
Can you read SANESSY STR. (for Strasse) ?
That would be a street in Vienna ;) . Austrian Cavalry sword made by some X X Zeitler ? . |
The mark "W-n" and the double eagle are the proof- and acceptance marks of Vienna. I think it is an Austrian gendarmerie sabre 1869

Definitely Austrian. It seems to be M1877 light cavalry Austrian sabre.

Gentlemen, thank you all for your insightful information !!!

Its says Wien for Vienna and I can definitely say it was retailed after 1908 in Austria.
Sanettystrasse got its name only after 1908 Source: https://www.wien.gv.at/wiki/index.ph...ttystra%C3%9Fe |
Thanks again;so now we know that it is an Austrian sword, post 1908.

I can only say it was at some point retailed after 1908 in Vienna. :)
It could be also an earlier sword, I don't know. I am sadly not an expert in that field. |
