| Bavarian Rumford-säbel with lion head |
 |
This variant of Rumford hilt has three side-bars and lion head; it also made from brass instead of steel. Unfortunately, the engraving patternis completely neutral, without any royal monogram and even without maker mark.
Am I right that this is Bavarian sword? Would it be possible to tell who can have such a sword - is it burgerwehr, artillery or cavalry officer and how old is the sword, is it older or younger than the second one from schutzen corps?
Thanks a lot,
Ivan

I have a sabre with the same hilt, but with a Badenian blade. FFM ZBVH stands for Friedrich Magnus Markgraf zu Baden und Hochberg, who died in 1709. "DL" is beliefed to stand for "Durlach", his residence. I think that the blade is 100 years older than the hilt which might be Bavarian.

Thank you very much for the answer and for the pictures!
I'm agree that your very nice blade is approximately 100 years older than the sword.
I have looked in the Gerd Maier "Byerische Blankwaffen", but did not found similar hilts. That's interesting, because if we can easily find two equal hilts it means that many were produced.
May be this weapon's history pages are not written yet.
