Really similar blades ,
I just wonder if ́these two large hirschfanger were made and then engraved as an authoriy status symbol of justice
( ́’ ́mine ́’ rehilted during the 19th century )
Or made with ́real cut down justice sword.
If they were just symbolic, the blades could even be smaller.
Has someone seen these symbols on small models ?

Kind regards
