I have a L & G sword that came from Cuba circa 1880's. The emblem is a Bull with sword and banner. No. 2970. I am interested in the history of L & G. Tis picture is not the best but gives you a general idea. The L & G is broken at 17 inches. The second one is a Collins & Co, Hartford Acero Fino Garantizada No. 296 Its a short 17" single edged. Emblem is a raised hand with a sword coming out of a crown. Again, this is from Cuba 1880s-90's.
I'm looking for info on these weapons and do not know where to look. My ancestor was influencial american Mine Operator for Bethlehem iron ore Co. in the 1880's to 1898. thanks, Ziggy
