"Holler" Infantry Hanger? Mar 8, 2011 11:23:47 GMT

Hello, and thank you for letting me join!
Inherited a sword years ago. Of no great value, but am interested in it's origin. The blade is 26 inches long, and the only mark is "Holler" on the blade. Have had no luck finding this particular mark on the internet, hoping you guys can shed some light. I found references to FW Holler, Solingen, but the stamp does not match anything I have seen.

Thanks

I don't know anything about the sword, but inheriting a blade like that "makes me wanna holler!"

Wal now, down in th' holler what Ah came from, we calls thet a "knife"...

Seriously though, I'd see if Dave Kelly notices this thread. He's our resident expert on rapiers and military swords and I'm sure he'll have something to say about this one... even if it comes with a "holler" joke

Yes, saw that one too. My blade is fullered, forgot to add that! I gather that the French Briquet style was prolific in the 19th century after the Napoleonic War. I am most curious about the simple "Holler" mark. I was wondering whether it was earlier than the more familiar FW Holler stamp, or if they are even related.
Cheers

I know they made WWI and WWII swords. I don't know how far back the company goes, but I think it is a good bet that they made your sword.
