I purchase this sword recently and have done a little research. The blade is from Klingenthal (blade valley). I think it is from the late 18th century. The hilt is Mameluke style but I don't know if it is from the same time line. There is some marks on the hilt but I can only make out a couple of numbers. I really want this to be from the Mamelukes of the Imperial Guard that served Napoleon but I have never seen a bronze cast hilt example like this one. Please give me your opinion. Thank you
