Thanks Ian. The sword in question, is very much like the one in the link. I may have the orientation of the scabbard, reversed. Might get to see it again, this weekend.

Don't know where it's from, but I love the barrel. A lot of attention to detail. Imagine, what it looked like when it was made.

Nice looking 'hawk. Patina looks pretty good to me. If professionally done to deceive, the world may never know. I'd buy it anyway, if the price was right. The striping was also done by painting on a...

Naval Cutlass?

Mods: I have exhausted every avenue of western, and or European ID on this weapon. I bought it in hopes that it may be an unknown Confederate variant. The majority believe it to be Mexican, or...

In the middle east, markings have nothing to do with mfg. Yes, the font of the maker name looks modern. That doesn't mean it's not an English made gun. I've seen several Royal Afghan mfg. rifles,...

It appears to be an all English made gun, with locally added embellishments. I'm just learning these, so can't help with the region of origin. Styles seem to overlap from culture, to culture, so...

I know nothing of these guns 'cept, I want one! Very nice. You seldom see guns from that area come up for sale. Love the coffee table also. What kind of wood is that, Olive?

Interesting piece. The hilt style, is vaguely similar to an English 1853 pattern. What part of LA do you live in? I'm in Alexandria, and set up at most of the gun shows in the state. Maybe our paths...

Shield Device

Over the years, I've noticed a shield, or house shaped indentation, on the breach area of guns form the Near, and Middle East. Even as far as India. The indentation is usually about 3/8" tall, 1/4"...

Yes, nice gun. Is the metal work silver, or aluminum? Looks like the latter to me. If so, more like mid 20th century. Or at least, decorated then.

Kachin Dha leather scabbards were sold as surplus, back in the 1980s. Open along the back edge, with English maker marks, broad arrows, and WWII dates.

As a casual student of Native American weapons, I agree with John. Most weapons being as he described. My thoughts are, that this is an early 20th century, "tourista" piece. If that's the case, it is...
