Re: Old Sword Found in storage shed
Well, imho it is real and not just made to look old. Sorry I can't help with country of origin or date for you though. Hopefully some one with more knowledge in this area will be able to help you.
Nice find though
Regards, Simon.

cmntgo100, mid 19th Century Imperial German 'Faschinenmesser' Pioneer short sword with sawback, used by Pioneer and Artillery troops for use in defence/offence and helping in construction work.......breastworks, earthworks, emplacements etc..
This one is marked to E.B.5.111. 'Eisenbahn-Betriebs Kompanie, waffen # 111. (5th Railway management company, hundred and eleventh weapon.) It a nice piece to own, especially when one found it !

Re: Old Sword Found in storage shed
Would anyone have any idea what this sword would be worth if I were to sell it. I have no idea what the value would be or where to find out. Thanks
