Finnish sea saber

[ollar]

Finnish sea saber.
hi! asked to identify the sword.What year of manufacture.... before 1945 or a modern product.

[Anderson]

So did you buy the Danish naval sword Ollar? I could tell you about this one, but if it's just a quizz or for one of your clients...

This is Finnish navy m/22 sword. Navy because leather scabbard, others have metal scabbards.

E. & F. HÖRSTER is german made. Finns ordered all their swords from germany before and after ww2.

I think this specimen is made 1950-ties. Maker logo doesn't match before-war made maker logos.

This sword model is still in use in Finnish military, 101 years and counting. Sword design was created 1919-1920. New swords are identical to old, only maker changes.

This logo correspond with german dagger blades of early and late 30ies. Its large Horstator TM in middle. But maybe used postwar too, i dont know.
