Hi Brian, Got your message, thanks. I will hopefully send them to you tomorrow morning. My e-mail is sabelb16133@yahoo.com and the subject line with be something clever like sword. The only marking on the sword is the Jerusalem cross on one side of the ricasso. I have not cleaned it up any so you will see Brasso residue in various places including on the rayskin. Gordon

Hi Brian, My photo uploading attempt was a failure. I can e-mailed them to you if you would like. There are about six of them. Best, Gordon

Greetings, Well, my attempt at uploading the photos onto the site failed. I have them on a CD and can e-mail them to you if you would like. There are about six of them. Best, Gordon

Greetings, Thanks, I thought it was about time I posted my first bit. I have photos but will not be able to add them until this weekend. Best, Gordon

Hi Brian, Thanks, my thought of having a scabbard comes from it being probably the simplest scabbard I have seen. Just black leather, a drag and top mount with band and ring. But it would just be simpler to sell as is. I have photos but won't be able to post them until this weekend. Best, Gordon

Greetings, I recently acquired a sword hoping it was in my collecting field (Imperial German swords). A few hours later I found out I had a Sabre for Mounted Gendarmerie Officers, Model 1860. Very good condition, plain blade, no scabbard. Does anyone have any thoughts as to its rarity etc. I am considering having a scabbbard made for it before I try to sell. Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Gordon
