SWEDISH M/1748-1856 INFANTRY HANGER

INFANTRY HANGER M/1748-1856
Sweden / c. 1750–1850

An antique M/1748 pattern of the Swedish infantry hanger which saw its main action during the 1808–1809 Finnish War between Sweden and Russia. The model was stylistically based in the early cavalry hilts from the 1700s combined with a short strongly-curved blade. The hilt and the blade are ambiguously marked.
The sword is in untouched antique condition with somewhat pitted steel blade. The brass hilt shows marks of an old repair. No scabbard.
