Kevin Tobin Posted 7 May , 2014 Share Posted 7 May , 2014 This sword is believed to be a Prussian Officers sword from the Great War. I am not sure about this? Is it a French sword - Napoleon Eagle rather than an Imperial one? Any ideas please? Thanks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegeGunner Posted 7 May , 2014 Share Posted 7 May , 2014 Not my subject at all, Kevin, but could a Prussian officer from a military family not be carrying a French sword acquired by one of his forebears during the Napoleonic Wars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajan Posted 8 May , 2014 Share Posted 8 May , 2014 No ideas as to maker? IMHO, the eagle certainly looks more Napoleonic than Imperial Germany and being straight, perhaps a court sword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Tobin Posted 8 May , 2014 Author Share Posted 8 May , 2014 I have checked again today, there is no markings on the blade or anywhere. Thanks for the replies so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 23 May , 2014 Share Posted 23 May , 2014 The crowned eagle looks typically French 2nd Empire? khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 23 May , 2014 Share Posted 23 May , 2014 It is a purely ceremonial and decorative French 'small' sword, comes in different versions, this one as khahki states is French 2nd Empire, so Napoleon III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
