Sweet & Sassy Cindy Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 That’s a beautiful sword. The sword it’s self may have been produced in a small German town called Solingen. I know you didn’t ask, but I myself would Take it to a dealer and find out it’s true worth. https://www.google.com/search?q=soligen+swords&client=safari&hl=en-us&nfpr=1&sxsrf=ACYBGNQLo34noMUduNXUXuCMp2hZUOyw_w:1579832791711&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjLxOril5vnAhWMoJ4KHTRGB9wQ_AUoAnoECAoQBA&biw=1112&bih=667 This town has been producing swords, daggers, and cutlery since around the 12 th or 13 th centuries. May I ask where you purchased it? Weather an original or reproduction it’s a fine sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Pat Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 That double headed eagle is the coat of arms for the Russian Czar. Sword would at least made before 1917. If you have any background on the sword it may help selling it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet & Sassy Cindy Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I knew there would be a bunch of Cowboys on here that knew more than me and willing to make sure another Cowboy didn’t loose a bunch gold and the possibly history behind this item.

No one will think the less of you. 600 pounds in US dollars is about $800.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Pard, I ain't looking for a sword, but I'd be obliged if you withdrew the item but left this thread up. There is some real interesting information here. BTW, somebody owes me an hour or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
