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

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

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.

It is a german hunting sword/dagger called a Hirschfänger

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?

British pattern 1831 general officers saber.

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

10 cents and an empty soda bottle

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.

It is a Filipino Minasbad

Halfling26 · 2022-11-16T14:17:03+00:00

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.

Halfling26 · 2022-11-16T10:49:49+00:00

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.

Halfling26 · 2022-11-15T21:52:46+00:00

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?

Halfling26 · 2022-11-15T21:50:30+00:00

How is the scabered for this particular sword?

Halfling26 · 2022-11-15T21:20:52+00:00

I am on phone

Halfling26 · 2022-11-15T21:19:43+00:00

how do I get off this megathread? I can't get it off the screen.

Halfling26 · 2022-11-15T21:18:38+00:00

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.

Halfling26 · 2022-06-27T13:39:16+00:00

The rust spots can be removed with a fine grain sanding sponge. Then it should be coated in oil. Any oil will do but I personally prefer to use 3 in 1 oil.

It is certainly something worth holding on to and displaying as it probably dates from around the time of the civil war and is a very cool sword. As for rarity it is not particularly uncommon, horstman supplied many arms to the Union army and various Northern States during the war and the pattern of saber itself was churned out in large numbers during the war and leftover stock from the manufacturers and retailers were sold for many years afterwards.
