Pattern 1679 French Cavalry sword of Wallonne type ?
This sword had been auctioned with the following description “EPEE WALLONNE DE CAVALERIE modèle 1679 France Louis XIV et Louis XV”
O.L. 103 cm ; blade L. 90 cm; blade width at hilt 2.9 cm
Blade marks: Passau wolf and I O H A N
The shape of the sword is very similar to a Dutch Wallonne see :http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=22074 but the dimensions are different the guard ,grip and blade wide are smaller ( the blade with only 2.9 cm at hilt and the guard about 3 cm less.
Any comment on it would be welcome
