Mameluke Sabers For Naval Use
I have attached three photos of a British made mameluke saber circa 1800 with naval markings. Would appreciate any information you might have on Napoleonic mamelukes for naval use. I have Boarders Away by Gilkerson and British Naval Swords by Annis and May. Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Ron
I have not tarried in long journeys over the surface of the sea, nor have I feared the threats of enemies or wild beasts, O strong leader, Maurice, go well good friend; I discern through such sweetness, the beauties of the country life, a safe return and nobility. Lift high the wine vessel. Such things are worthy of remembrance.
