Continental sword



This little pig sticker is an artillery short sword, likely from continental Europe from the 1800's. It's got an all brass hilt with a stylized eagle head pommel. The leather scabbard is in fair shape, and the blade has faint etchings of military/artillery themed images and is stamped E.G. near the hilt. It's only about 22" long, so the kid thinks this is his. It isn't.
