I know it's not really a knife but was hoping someone might be able to tell what this sword is. It was given to me a few years ago by a friend of the family before she died and she didn't seem to know anything about it.

That’s interesting, I wish I could read the engraving better

This is best picture I could get of the stamps/ engraving.

I am not an expert, but i would guess it's either a cavalry saber or a light artillery saber. Appears to be an old one, too.

That's quite an interesting one. A bit of searching says that it is indeed a cavalry saber - the linked website has a page for precisely the same sword, stamp and all:

Pattern 1796 Light Cavalry sword (1796) Most likely.

Too Slow! :imslow:

"was hoping someone might be able to tell what this sword is" that sword is heckin' cool and bad a$$ too sorry I couldn't help myself

Wow 1796?! That’s awesome.

It's defiantly a NATHAN STARR 1818 cavalry saber as d3moncow had found for me. I never thought it would be THAT old. My mind is still blown! Things I thought was messed up on it like how the blade looks like its bent where it comes out of the handle is actually how they are in all the pictures I have found.

Before he found that I kept finding German ones that looked close, like the Pattern 1796 Light Cavalry sword that flipgun mention but they have extra parts that this doesn't have. That's what kept stumping me.

I can't help but wonder if the nicks in the blade are from battle.
