Nice boards but I have to say the star of the show is the sword and the portepee. It's a beauty and a rarity.

It looks like he might have changed units to 168 ?

Thanks Sandy. I really like the handle too. One of the few infantry swords I have, and I bought it for the handle.

Nice to see a Hessian officer's sword with lion's head, thanks for sharing!
I suppose this sword was to be carried only off-duty.
