I found this old sword in the back of my closet…?
Alright, so I was moving and packing up my things because I’m moving next week…
and I found an ancient saber in the back of my closet. I don’t remember how I got it. But it’s old and crazy elaborate. I have some pictures here that I’ll put in the details.
I’m wondering if anyone knows a lot about this sort of thing or can tell me what they think of where it’s from.
Here’s what I do know:
-The blade says "Germany", nearest to the handle.
-The handle says J.M. LITCHFIELD & Co. on it, which is one company out of many that was destroyed in the horrible 1906 San Francisco Earthquake when the entire city crumbled, caught fire, and was declared Martial Law
-The Blade says 32 on it, in multiple places.
-J. M. Litchfield & Co. Existed from 1876 – 1906.
anyway so that’s all I know, I’m really trying to learn more about it, and exploring the idea of sending it to a museum, or selling it to a collector where it would be better appreciated. I can guess that it’s a military saber.
Think someone could give me an idea of how much it’s worth, and what to do with it?
or yahoo can be bugged and submit twice without letting any details. ;\
ugh, okay send me a message if you want a full description.
Yes, I already said museum or sell, I’m wondering how to do that. Please remember the yahoo policy when responding to this question.

It must be an ancient relic!
You must venture through the thick Amazons, Egypt, Himalayas, then back to unlock the mystery and what you should do with it!

It’s The Matrix of Leadership from Transformers. Ask Micehal Bay what to do with it

Post your question and some pictures to http://www.myarmoury.com, or http://www.swordforum.com/, and you should get your answers.
Thanks to the recent resurgence in European martial arts, you have a third option: keep it and learn how to use it! However, if you really want to sell it, they both have classified sections.
