Nah, five foot eight inches, or 172 cm. I'm a bit broader now though.

Hello,

As soon as i have some time i will go to "army archives" in Lisbon and try to know if the number present in the saber can be associated with some AE registry, i have seen in the past Portuguese arms with the AE missing.... if the saber was from AE i could possibly even know the name of the soldier who own it!

Regards,

BV

That would be most interesting.
