Original Austrian-Hungarian 18th Century Magnate Saber Magnatensäbel or Díszszablya with Elaborately Gilded Figural Hilt and Scabbard colts though it does show wearOriginal Item: One of a Kind. This is an extraordinary and exceptionally ornate 18th century Magnate Saber, known in German as a Magnatensbel and in Hungarian as a dszszablya. Featuring a dramatically curved blade, an extensively gilded figural hilt, colorful painted decoration, and the remains of its original velvet covered wooden scabbard with elaborate gilt mounts, this is one of the most visually impressive aristocratic sabers we have encountered.
