Hi Ian,

I don´t know as I bought it while I am in Africa and the sword was sent directly to Prague (and I am looking forward to seeing it in natura). But I don´t thing so. It could be fallacy, Enclosed please find another 2 photos.

Richard, thank you also for the photo of the pallasch

Regards,

Martin

Hello Martin,
It doesn't look like the blade has been shortened after seeing your last two photos. It does have a really meaty looking blade.

Received from a non-registered reader:

I have a copy of the Dolleczek book they mention ... the sabre is from the 1748-68 period as it is fairly plain, but brass mounted. It would appear to be an NCO's weapon as the men tended to have plain scabbards.

Its great that our 'cold case' system works so well, and that it is clear that people our still reading our ols threads even years later. I hope all the fantastic material archived here will stand for many years as a useful resource for those inclined to study arms.

All best regards,
Jim
