This swords has no visible markings but Im sure it was made in Mexico, most likely in the mid-1800s. A friend collected it in Mexico almost 40 years ago. I have seen many Mexican swords with the grip and guards covered in leather like this. I believe the sword was used up thru the Mexican Revolution. Gorilla soldiers that served with Pancho Villa and other bandit military leaders used whatever arms that were available including many Spanish Colonial swords. They almost always carried their swords on their saddles during the Mexican Revolution. The custom well made leather scabbard is in nice shape, not stiff. It was designed to be attached to the saddle. When attached to the saddle the metal guards and grips would become so hot in the bright sun and extreme heat soldiers could not hold the swords, so the leather covering was a common sense fix. I have owned a dozen like this. The sword is overall 34 the grip is tight. Thats about all I know about it. We described things as best we can but we are not experts in every field.

BRAZIL PAULISTA REVOLUTION HELMET. This is one version of 3 versions of a 1932 Brazilian Civil War Paulistas Steel Helmet manufactured in Brazil. Using the design of the French M-15 Helmet and modified to suit the Brazilian Paulistas needs. The main difference is the way the helmet shell is pressed out of one piece of steel instead of being put together from three pieces as the French Helmet was and the other is the air vent on the top of the helmet shell. This version of the Paulistas helmet has an air vent which is pressed into the top of the helmet shell and holes drilled around the protrusion. The second version of this helmet uses the French system where the air vent on the top of the shell is covered by a comb however the comb on the Paulistas helmet is very small compared to the French helmet. This helmet shell is with the original painting. There is no liner or chin-strap. Overall, this helmet shell is in good condition for it’s age and whatever use it may have had in my opinion.
