<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kotkinjs1, post: 252430, member: 5010&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone tell me how I&#039;d go about getting a sword authenticated or evaluated? What I seem to have is a standard French Infantry Briquet sword. However, it&#039;s engraved with &quot;Jackson 8 Janvier 1815.&quot; This was the date of the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812. Now obviously this wasn&#039;t the general&#039;s sword but is there any way to tell if it&#039;s original to the battle? Inscribed by a soldier proud of his general after the battle? I&#039;m having trouble turning up any research that shows French troops there but french weapons were abundant.</p><p>Thanks!
