Sword for identification

Oops! Mark, Dmitry got us!

Actually this does pretty well match up with the Danish naval cutlass of c.1834, noted as being introduced in 1836 to replace converted cavalry swords.

Arrr, foiled again! Thanks, Jim and Dmitry. Well, we did at least mention the possibility of naval and from the right period. Guards with the blackened sheet metal pattern were also popular from circa 1810-60's. I have a Brit private purchase type naval with a stamped "VR" gov't marking. Once again, good call Dmitry.

If it has got this stamp (Frederiksværk), it is without doubt a Danish M1849...
