Thanks Jeff
, actually it looks like the sword brain thing is more of a team effort here, so yeah, it would need a lots of memory.
Correction on my previous post, it was in the War of 1866 that Hesse sided with Austria against Prussia, and it seems interesting that the Hesse pattern is so much like the Austrian. At least that gives some good perspective on the influence. This has been an interesting exercise in these swords of the Austrian and Imperial German armies though, its great to learn more !!!
Its always great to be posting with ya Jeff!!!! Its been a while,
All the best,
Jim
