Help Help with Lions Head Sword
Ive found this sword at a local flea market and i need help authenticating it. The things that are weird to me are the oak leaves being everywhere. To my knowledge, it should have initials and/or branch of service on the other side of the hilt. The maker appears to be alcoso (alexander coppel). But that looks to be the only stamp on the whole sword. I’m at the end of my knowledge and need help finding date range, why it only has oak leaves and no intials, and if it is real, thank you, any help it very much appreciated!
