Collection of 11 historical swords from 1600–1800, some from Napoleonic era
13 May 2025
Description

This is a private collection of 11 swords inherited from my father. The swords date from the 17th to the 19th century, with at least a few confirmed to be from the Napoleonic period. They are all white weapons (non-firearms) and were kept as part of a decorative but valuable family collection. Unfortunately, I do not know the specific origin or makers of each piece, but many bear engravings, insignias, or distinct historical features. The condition varies: some are very well preserved, while others show signs of aging consistent with their age (surface wear, patina, minor rust). Materials include steel blades, brass or bronze guards, and some feature wooden or leather-bound grips. I’m submitting this for valuation and possible classification assistance. High-quality photos of each item are included.
