Identification 19th century cav sword

Calien · 10th February 2020, 08:07 AM

Hello,
I am new here, but im looking for your expertise on this subject. I bought this sword at auction described as a WWI artillery officer sword, but its quite obvious that the description doesnt match. The format is very similar to that of Napoleons Imperial Guard, but instead of an "N" it has a "G" and the imperial eagle has been substituted with a sun. Thanks for the help and enjoy

Calien, if you cared to have a look to our forum rules, you would be aware that posting pictures with links to web hosts is not the correct procedure.
This time i will save them to a computer, resize them (rotate a couple) and upload them with the adequate attachment features.
I notice that you have had an opinion that your nice sword is Prussian. Let us see whether members here concur with such assessment.

Possibly this is an Italian sabre of the kingdom of Naples under Joseph Bonaparte who was king in Naples from 1806 to 1808. He was the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte and his Italien name was Giuseppe Buonaparte = "G".

Thank you Fernando and I apologize about that. Corrado thats amazing! Ive been searching for someone that matches the "G" but completely forgot to translate his name. That is a huge clue that I will definitely will look into. Any other input is greatly appreciated.
