Looks like the sword you linked is an authentic French AN IX. What doubts do you have about it?

Looks like the sword you linked is an authentic French AN IX. What doubts do you have about it? Just checking, mainly as it lacks the olive on the handle, and the Swedish M1814 are very close copies. Also, I bought it and I made my classic move of not digging in to a particular sword before I pull the trigger.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. The Swedish version is almost identical to the AN IX, in fact made at the same factory! The Swedish version is more rare, so if you accidently ended up with one it would probably be worth the same. The only difference may be the unit numbers on the scabbard. There was some variation from the factory, so colour or trim may not be a good way to differentiate.

Thanks man! You seem to always have just the knowledge I'm seeking.
