Thank you Jim, for your most astute observations.
In comparison to other period officer items it is very austere with practically no decorations, almost minimalistic. That I love about this piece. I would add, that I saw that particular scabbard ending on some austrian swords before. I tihk the hilt is stylised from earlier hussar sabers. |
