So in THIS THREAD I have a sword that I found. But before/after cleaning there's not much for makers or inspectors marks on the blade. I've been digging around online and the profile appears to be a Model 1852 Officer (Navy) Saber. It is obviously broken and missing a few inches. But I was wondering if we have any folks here with some more knowledge on them or any books laying around.
The only visible marks are on the tang and are a "6" (or 9) beside a "circle". On the other side of the tang is an "A" and sticking out from a flake of rust looks like the side of a "V" which helps the Navy idea. But while there's references to blade marks online, I can't seem to find anything in the way of marks on the tangs. The area is well documented from Indians, early America exploration, Colonial, Civil War, etc. so matching area finds is kind of hard.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
