THANK YOU ~ ! ~~~~~~ Fabulous 18th C. Hungarian Nobleman’s Saber – Similar to Prince Esterhazy Sword. Magnificent saber for an 18th century Hungarian Nobleman, possibly carried by the officer of the immediate guard units for the Prince Esterhazy or the emperor himself, wearing a Shamshir style large-fullered blade with exceptionally deep curvature to its length and mirrored finish overall. Mounted with a fantastic massive hilt of finely cast and chiseled brass or bronze, retaining much of its original fire gold finish and featuring fabulous details throughout topped with an impressive Emperor’s bust pommel. Grip and pommel are in one piece, the cross guard is a separate piece and features Hungarian crest to the front langet. Awesome and Rare weapon built for a Noble figure but with intent of most efficient battle action if called for it. Total Length (inside scabbard if present) : 36 1/2" Blade Length : 31" measured straight, significantly more on the curve. Detailed condition reports are not included in this catalog.
