sword; small
Production date
Circa 18th Century
Description
Small sword probably used for law enforcement. The grip is dark brown and the blade has a running wolf engraved on both sides of the blade. The blade itself is straight, tapered and double edged. Engraved on the blade on both left and right is "IN MINI". It was though that it was made between 1700-1725 but according toexpert from NMS (1997) this date is probably wrong even though the sword is an 18th century make. It was probably a dress sword worn with mourning or court dress. The pommel has been replaced at some point.
