Viribus Unitis (Austro-hungarian Sword)

[Dmitry]

This is an Austro-Hungarian civil servants' parade or court sword. Swords like this are frequently encountered on the market. The original scabbard had two gilt brass fittings, the top locked had a button on the front, to be worn on a shoulder sling.

this is another enlightenment ... thank you Dmitry

is there any information on where I can purchase the scabbard ?? as mine is losing its scabbard

I would advise to just leave it the way it is. It would be difficult to find a period scabbard that would fit your blade.

This company can make you a new scabbard. To do a good job, I'd assume they would probably need to have your sword sent to them.

thanks, Dmitry

really appreciate the information, but I am afraid that it's gonna cost me too much to send the sword to them
