Here anons, have a Swedish infantry officer's sword with a German 'damast' blade. IIRC the Swedes didn't hyper etch for contrast like the Germans and to a lesser extent, Austria/France/Russia did, but that could be survivorship bias and age as almost all the sabres of this vintage that have survived with patterned blades seem to be either faint or outright polished out.
Just won an antique 1773 pallasch blade, I have a really weird unique sabre hilt no one on Earth can find the provenance of (it was never finished), I think it would be fun to get someone skilled enough with brass to chisel the hilt and finish it with some annealing and whatnot and use it for a nice big proper royal guard heavy cavalry sabre. Will post guard in reply, if you know what it is for please tell me because fucking nobody has ever been able to track it down. Made in France but the Parisian hilt makers did custom stuff for the entire world.
