I resently purchased this interesting Cup/Ball hilt Epee togheter with some other swords fromn an old castle estate in nordseeland Denmark.
Unfortunly it havent been possebly to find positive ID/dating on the blade and Cup ( the handle is added in lack of the original one an is only to get the feeling of handle) så only blade and Cup are original, onthe Cup is ingraved in french ( i suppose
)" Līhonorable plus haut que la vie" Markers mark on the blade just above the cup, looks like a cresent moon, beside the cartuche with a star or crown with R,B or P ? , on the blad other side is inscription i cannot read, hope the weapon of arms on the blade give a clue - i will apriciate any clue and help!
Best regards Kjeld.
