Johnny737 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Greetings everyone! I have always been a headgear and insignia collector, but I’m thinking about venturing into Swords. I have an ancestor who was an officer in the Prussian Uhlans at the outbreak of WW1. I’m curious as to what saber he would’ve carried, how I could authenticate it, and if possible where I could look for one. Many thanks in advance. Also if anyone could recommend a book about Austrian, Bavarian, or Prussian swords from the Napoleonic Era I would greatly appreciate that as well! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
