Hello Dragon,

your foto had been a little dark, so I sharpened it a little bit and lightened it up.

Now the iron hilt is better to be seen.

Frans Løvschall shows a similar danish model and called it "Rytterpallask model 1734 (Cavalry Broadsword pattern 1734)": "Blade stiff and double-edged, flattened rib. Hilt of iron, knuckle-bow mortised into pommel. Thumb bow. Grooved grip covered with leather. 101,6 cm."

The hilt and the lines on it are a little bit different to yours.
Are there any marks or signs on your swords?

Regards

Carsten

The Pallasch that I have that you see posted above under my M 1728 differs to much from the "M 1734" variations in form and dimentions to fall under in under what I think we can call M 1734. It does have more in common with M 1726. The grip is larger and of the same shape as an M 1726 but with an shell where the M 1726 has an smoth surface. The blade and dimetions are considerably larger than on M 1734.

There is an number of danish Norwegian iron mounted Pallasch's that are not yet found in the literature, here is one more that is not in Danske Blankvapen or in earlier atemps on listing an cronoligy of Danish arms:

On the photo below you see my M 1728 Pallasch toghter with an variation with an considerably smaller hilt and shell. Also "unknown". This forum is the first place I have posted this photo. Collectors are talking about such an variation, and here it is:

An nice M 1734 with three bars and C6 (1730-1746) mongram:

Recently I was very fortunate and managed to acquire a M/1726 Pallasch. Number three from the top:



When including the other Pallasch photos in this thread most if not all the iron mounted Dansih Pallasch's should be represented
