Spain - espada de caballería Carlos III - heavy cavalry - Sword

[ translate ]

Heavy cavalry sword, unit created under the reign of Carlos III. This sword was created during the first quarter of the 18th century, since this King sought to modernise, among many other things, the old model of the Spanish army after the 80 years war. The garnish is formed in the shape of shells, also called horse's mouth, decorated with geometric motifs. Great knob and guard with two quillons, missing the filigree. Surely the steel would come from Germany but the inscriptions do not allow it to be located in one place. The images are part of the description, you buy what is in the images. Insured shipping and pick-up point if possible.
