hawk3370 Posted October 29, 2018 Share #3 Posted October 29, 2018 Looks like a copy of a Starr 1808 NCO sword. Rose copied the star swords do some degree sometimes with little or no markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony75 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted October 31, 2018 Hello Hawk Thank you for the information very helpful. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk3370 Posted November 1, 2018 Share #5 Posted November 1, 2018 This is a pic of the 1808 Starr NCO sword in my collection. Blade on this one measures 25 1/2" but I suspect they could have been ordered with a longer blade depending on the size of the soldier. The sword you listed is missing the leather wrap on the grip. But the style is the same on both swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
