Interesting post, I've ordered the book AS ARMAS E OS BARÕES.
Many Napoleonic swords that appear British are not necessarily so.
I'm curious what other sword types are in this book.

You may find here and there descriptons worth a pinch of salt, specially on what touches the recurrent attribution 'dispute' Portuguese VS Spanish, as also some texts emphasized, like for adding value to the pieces. Pictures are excelent.

Hello,

Meanwhile i found more information about the sword, it seems it was popular in Brasil with a nickname of "Rabo de galo", "rooster tail ?".
