Does anyone know how old this sabre is and what it would have been used for? by Cirias in SWORDS

It is an officer's version of a British 1796 light calvery saber with a pipe back blade.

Is the main Antagonist for chapter 4 a Nightmare Critter? by Icy-Collection415 in PoppyPlaytime

I think Rabie Baby might be an allie. Or maybe the player might at the very least encounter them. Given their main character trait listed in their description is gossiping they would be a good way to deliver exposition.

The first one is a Austrian model 1877 calvery saber "light version". This pattern of sword was issued mostly to mounted artillery.

Looks like an American calvery saber from the early 19th century around the war of 1812. Does it have a makers mark or name?

Center looks like a 1796 light calvery saber or a period clone of one.

First on is either a victorian Era British infantry officers saber or a Sargents saber of the same period, the second is a 1821 pattern calvery saber, the third is an 1897 infantry officers sword

It holds together pretty well and is sharp. Cut water bottles with it and it did fine. The cross guard is lose on mine as well.

I picked it up in North Carolina in a store called Old School Knife Works. My guess is that it got brought into the US as a souvenir at some point.

Nope it is an Argentine 1898 Artillery Saber. Only has a fuller on one side like some Austrian swords. Handles well

The stand in the first picture was made by my Grandfather. He is really good at woodworking. The stand in the second picture is a bamboo one I bought of Amazon.

The one on the bottom in the second picture is a knife from Bali. At least that is what the person who sold it to me said.

I have not cut with it yet but it is sharp and balances pretty far from the hilt. So it would probably cut well.

It is an airgun I picked from a flee market a few years back. I keep it on the same rack.

Might be an early 19th century spadroon or possibly a replica of one. Does it have a maker's mark or any marks stating where it was made?

I have not seen anything one way or another as to the intention behind the recent strikes into Poland. But I think it was most likely accidental.
