Ian:
Thank you! I hope that I will be able to decipher the first name soon as I have it here in my hands. And yes, I would concur with your age guess. Jose: This was the reason to buy it, they are so seldom seen for selling that I didn't want to let it go.  It's not fancy as your one but a honest example with provenance which need to get uncovered. Craig: Thank you very much! The only confusing fact is that it was a Captain and on the scabbard is written Major!  I am not very firm with ranks in the US army, is it possible that it is the same person? Regards, Detlef |

It certainly wouldn't be unusual for an officer to get a promotion, especially in an environment of conflict.
