  • Description:

    Excellent example of a Swiss 1842/52 Officers Cavalry sword.  This great example was one of the swords built on contract by F. Horster of Solingen.  The 34" blade shows the Swiss cross, Stands of Arms and the makers name engraved on the blade.  The ricasso is also stamped with the name.  The guard is guilded and shows leaf embelishment on the base of the guard as well as the pommel.  The wire bound grip shows all the wire in place but partially loose .  This sword rides in its' original scabbard which shows some usage marks but remains in excellent condition.  The original owner paid close to two thousand Euro at auction in the late 1990's.
