A Swedish Hussars Officer's Sabre with a mighty blade.
I have included a comparison next to two 1796s in the gallery.
Beautifully engraved with the classic "Vivat Hussar". Manufactured by Runkel in Solingen in 1786. Regimentally marked D 11. There is not enough documentation on Swedish regimental abbreviation from that period, but it is most likely the Vastgota Riders Regiment, later known as the Vastgota Hussars.
