Z mark on heavy old sword

[BBking]

Hello,
Thank's a lot for your useful reply !!

Really interesting, I read this Z "wolfAngel" mark could work as an old germanic rune protection symbol.

Is it the hilt without the hand guard that makes this sword a soldier model ?? ( and not grenadier...)

Personally, I prefer it that way , make me a little think of a shamshir or karabela shape.

I'll post other pictures when I get it !

Kind regards
