|
|
Hello!
A friend of mine bought two sabers, of which he knows nothing of. My personal era of interest is medieval, so I, too, know next to nothing of these. I only had a few minutes to inspect them, and take a few hasty pictures, so here they are
The first is a double-edged saber, both edges sharpened the entire length of the blade. No markings that I could see anywhere:
The second is hanger sword, there appears to be a myriad of these from the 18th and 19th centuries. No markings whatsoever, except perhaps something on the left side of the blade near the handguard:
Any help or guidance to the right direction will be greatly appreciated.

Both have a Scandanavian look to them. The cast gripped one actually likely later. I've lost both my Danish and Swedish museum links.
Cheers
