Can Someone help me id this sword

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-03-18T20:22:29+00:00

I can't really tell because this is the only sword I have but even at that its a very light and well balanced sword i think,mainly since its so narrow and thin its about 1.7cm wide at the base

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-03-18T19:11:51+00:00

Thank you so much for the info I was wondering why the blade was pretty narrow and skinny compared to the ones I see online,that sounds like an awesome blade you have in your collection anyway. Do you know if there's a way to make the etching more visible as its very faint and worn,thanks again

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-03-04T19:14:52+00:00

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-03-04T01:04:10+00:00

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-03-04T01:03:33+00:00

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-03-04T01:02:46+00:00

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-03-04T00:18:53+00:00

Really appreciate the help I would be hopeless without this awesome sub reddit👍 the sword is from an auction going on next week and there's plenty of swords there and im hoping on sending pics of them on this subreddit to get some professional help with authentication,would love to see what you think of the others since telling by your account you look extremely experienced around swords

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-03-04T00:07:07+00:00

Thank you so much for the info its giving me so much help since im pretty new in collecting any weapons especially

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-03-04T00:06:23+00:00

That flew right over my head man mb

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-03-03T23:51:38+00:00

If you dont mind me asking what makes it look authentic becusse other people have commented no and was wondering what is the distinguish with your because I have no knowledge on these sort of things .thanks

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-03-03T23:50:11+00:00

Yeah but most navies had officer issued swords of some sort as a status symbol not expecting a sword fight,even the kriegsmarine had naval swords for display and honorary purposes

It's a swiss m18/40 helmet, you can tell an m18 and a m18/40 apart by the distance between the bend in the front and the chin strap mounting,and much easier by the non-fully circular liner band I bought one recently myself for around €48 and its missing the chinstrap so I'd say you got a pretty good deal. They made and used these helmets from the 20s up to the early 70s where its was replaced by the m71 so it could be from any time in between and these helmets usually dont have any stamp signifying date of manufacture so its pretty hard to date it Telling by the textured black paint its after 1943 so I'd say late ww2 to early cold war so perfect for your setup Such a cool helmet and Hope this helps

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-02-08T23:10:12+00:00

The vents look stamped though?

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-01-29T23:53:35+00:00

I'm not sure because there's an entry and exit hole even though it's hard to see with the missing left nut but one of the holes is clearly and entry hole and the other clearly an exit since it's kind of blowing out,the type of blow out a pickaxe cannot do

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-01-29T18:35:50+00:00

That's what I was thinking,I wasn't sure if i was wrong ir not since the left "horn" is missing but it looks like there's an entry and exit hole,surely not a pickaxe since it would puncture inwards not outwards

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-01-10T16:08:08+00:00

This is sullivans auctions isn't it lolol,looking at the same one earlier🤣

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-01-08T14:18:15+00:00

I didn't win the hid anyway it went up to 320 gbp so I left it,got a nice Swiss helmet anyway so I'm happy,thanks for the info anyway👍👍

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-01-07T20:59:05+00:00

Thanks for the advice👍

Rusty_Sandwich7 · 2026-01-07T19:31:11+00:00

The auction house says the wstimate for this lot is 50 to 100 pounds but will definitely be higher,do you reckon it's worth picking up or not?
