I have been told this is a British Revolutionary period Naval sword. Sorry that's all I know about it. Appreciate any opinions, leads, ideas, or guesses!!!

Paul, One of the problems with identifying older swords is that they “made up the rules” as they went along. And it was only after certain regulations were established that there seemed to be some kind of conformity.

I really need to research the matter, and I just don’t have the time right now. But with some early Naval Officer’s swords that come to mind they had a naval motif somewhere such as an anchor.

And while I’m fairly certain I have the same Dragon(?) as yours on at least one of my early swords. The more detailed/ornate one I’m posting here is on a Light Cavalry Officer’s saber. And if I had to make a guess right now as to the the date of the saber you posted - it probably would be shortly after the Revolutionary War was over. Regards, FP

Thanks Fred, I really don't have a clue so would appreciate your thoughts.

Paul, I haven't really looked into the matter yet, but there was one thing that I could have mentioned to you earlier. I'm fairly certain that at least the blade was made in Solingen Germany. Not at all uncommon for that era, with the Germans exporting a lot of what they made. FP
