Model 1840 Cavalry Sword ID - The Firearms Forum

When I acquired this sword it had a poorly done Model 1860 replacement grip, although the sword is an imported Model 1840. I found a maker's (or importer's?) mark on the tang--see photo. Looks like C.KORTENJ with the N backwards. It might also be C.KORTEN.J Does anybody recognize this?

Have you consided that perhaps the manufacturer is C. Korte with the place of manufacture NJ, as in New Jersey? Just a thought! Jetman
