anyway the sword dates back to the napoleonic era. Typical sword used by the napoleonic cuirassier. although to be honest...mine is more fancy and in better condition that the average sword of the era.
the general tactic for this weapon was on horseback to stab between the collar bones and penetrate the heart of a man on foot.
this is why i was surprised to learn i have 0% french ancestry. But whatever...the french and the scots always had a close alliance and there were a lot of scots used in his heavy cavalry. I guess it comes from that.
i could probably sell it for 1-200k. if i wanted.
