What does the Neues stand for in this context, if it's not smokeless, but black powder, as you wrote? Was it a new standard for the black powder? Continuing onto the HH lot itself, if this revolver...

Hungarians keep it close to the vest, when it comes to literature on their swords. Polish swords are close to the Hungarian ones. For some unknown to me reason, Eastern Europeans refuse to publish...

If Neues refers to smokeless gunpowder, then 2 grams is a substantial amount.
2 grams is 31 grains. For reference, a 9 mm Luger round takes 5 grains of smokeless powder.

I didn't think I had to clarify that it referenced Peter Romanov when I deciphered the inscription, but thank you.
The person who posted the photo says it's in a Belorussian museum. Which one?
He...

This blade is engraved with the Russian two-headed eagle, and the inscription is VIVAT ZAR PETER. I can't make out the word underneath.

Do you see the inside of the muzzle on these photos? The answer is NO.
I'm asking a person who ostensibly has access to the piece in question. Do you have access to this revolver?

This post should be made a sticky. Best advice ever.
i wouldn't touch a thing about this helmet. Adding rivets, etc. to this piece would only make its appearance much less honest.

I agree. The OP's sword looks like a fake made to look like a relic. There's a lot of that coming from the Eastern Europe these days. I wonder where he acquired the sword.

You are right about the appearance of it, with blade in the scabbard it's a 1796 pattern light cavalry saber. The blade itself is another story- it appears to be a custom job. I would be curious if...

Thank you for the link. I see that I'm not the only one wondering. My question is geared mostly towards the internal, US-based logistics.

I know this thread is not recent, but I would advise no to un-peen the tang. The knife looks pretty good the way it is/was.

If this were the case, then the artillerymen would probably be drawn and quartered, when captured. I think you are repeating a myth.
