Hello,

I bought this sword, or better this blade because all the rest of the sword is not original! It was sold has a hunting XIX sword but i'am sure this is a wrong information, the blade was not for hunting and it is of very good quality, very well balanced, has 2 engravings in french with (nobility) symbols as the pictures shows.

I think the blade is from a french sword of first half of the XVIII century, used by somebody of the nobility, i would like to restore this sword so any opinion for the style of the parts i should use in the restoration will be welcome!

Thanks

Best Regards,

BV
