Upload these from your drive to an easy site such as www.ripway.com or www.imagecave.com then use the img /img tags you can copy and paste to boards such as this, Some may need to register for Yahoo pulse blogs/albums.

While it shows a maltese type cross on the guard, I don't think this one is German naval (although I'm often wrong). The German naval and artillery swords of this period will have garnet/gem eyes and the naval examples often red and green (left/right) for port and starboard.


The fellows in the Antique&Military section of http;//swordforum.com can probably id it.

I agree it does appear to be German styling and is a naval sword. what exactly are you trying to identify about it?
