Check with Incolma, the company still exists and I was able to get information for an Item made in the late 1700's.

Justin,

My husband and I have a sword with the same name on it...ours is No 351. Does yours have a carving on the blade? We are trying to research ours and we can not find any info. We have had ours for over 30 yrs.... It was given to my husband by his cousin in Germany. If you have any info so that I may go further with my research please respond.

Thank you,

SuAnn Parks
