I just acquired this sword, and since my main interests are ethnographic weapons and Bulgarian military patterns, I have to admit, I know very little about it. I am going to get a copy of Mowbray's book, but I suspect this is a later sword past 1830 and I am not sure I will find it there.
It has a screaming eagle pommel, but am I correct in thinking this is not an Ames, but rather a British made example, based on the ricasso and the blade decoration, consisting of blue & gilt and acid etched panels?
I would really appreciate any comments. Thank you,
Teodor
