Thank you Carsten ! I have one more Pallasch with what I beleive is markings from Holsten.

This is an Pallasch M 1773:

If the "H" is for Holsten. Then what is the "W" represent ? The weapon number also seems very high unless what appears to be N 1013 is in realitry somthing else, the number one could be "I". Any suggestions ?

I don't know the meaning of "H=W" and have no idea .

There is a "BS"-mark -> (Baroniet Heinrich Carl Schimmelmann, Kronborg Geværfabrik ~1770-79) and a mark I could'nt read exactly ("F5"? under crown - seems to be too early - I think this was the time of C VII., a short time after the death of Struensee and later on).

Some questions:
Is this a model 1789 or 1773?
Did the norwegians use the same models as the danish troops in danmark or are there differences?

Regards

Carsten

Pardon, I'd been so fascinated about the picture, that I skipped this little sentence .

Thank you for the information about the "Norwegian Arsenal hole" - I didn't know this!

Zitat von Dragon:

It is quite well marked. Both with BS on the hilt and C7 on the blade.

I thought so . Can you tell something about this little "under crown-mark"?

Regards

Carsten

You are right the C7 stamp is not shown on the photo above. It is placed on the front side of the blade. I will see if I can get around to take an photo later
