Default Can anybody help with sword info?
Hi All
A friend of mine has an old Russian Cossack sabre which his grandfather brought back from the Black Sea at the end of WWI. can anybody help with info or point me in the direction to get info about it? It's an amazing piece, you can see it was made for business and not show!
Thanks, cheers,
Alex

It looks like a model 1865 infantry/ artillery officer's sword
Regards
Mike

No, there are cyrillic markings on the handle and blade.
Cheers,

Possibly the U.S. 1840 Model Artillery sabre in a Indian Pattern Mountain Artillery leather scabbard?

regards

I would agree with Mike, it certainly looks like a Russian 1865 Pattern infantry/artillery officer's sword. Influenced by French design, as were a lot of US swords around this time.

Sorry, misunderstood Mike's comment, thought he meant British
Could well be 1865 pattern, I know nothing about swords...
Cheers,
Alex

If you Google 'Russian sword 1865' you will find photos of swords which seem to be very much the same as your sword and scabbard.
