The 1827 half basket British Naval Officer’s sword(s) furnished the inspiration for the German sword. With a number of early British swords actually being manufactured in Germany, with some examples having fairly similar lion heads depending on the era. The British swords also seem to have preferred ray skin covered grips. Nice sword! Smile FP
