[QUOTE="huzzah, post: 76565, member: 966"]I was given this sword by my father who found it in the wall of a house he was tearing down years ago after a flood. I don't know how long he had it or anything about who it belonged too. I did some research on my own and think it is from Edward VII's reign? So it would have been made between 1901 and 1910? I'm very new to this sort of research and would like to get some help if I could. It is in pretty rough shape but it has 'Samuel Brothers' on it and a serial number stamped on the 'blade side.' I tried contacting Samuel Brothers but they haven't gotten back with me. It's been two weeks so I have a feeling I won't hear back from them. Maybe I won't find out any more information on it, but perhaps someone here could shed some light. I was told it was a cavalry style sword, probably presented to an officer, but I have no real evidence of that and don't want to spread false information about it. I'm going to scale down the photos and upload them in my next message.[/QUOTE]
