thanks jim, this is an officers weapon, marked 16LD, then B17. I just don,t think that an officers sword would be so marked with what i think is a rack number,I have also found the mark on the guard. maybe it was just away to push the price up. the PoW feathers was the mark i have seen on many sabres marked to dragoon officers, michael
