Рункель Золинген. В интернете почитайте. Сабля хорошая. Образца 1796 офицерская. Легкая кавалерия.
А как аббревиатура J.J. расшифровывается?

Short Biography: Johann Justus Runkel (1751-1808)
Johann Justus Runkel was born in Germany in 1751. Between 1751 and 1779, he lived in the parish of Renysdorff, Neuwid, Prussia.
He emigrated to Britain, either in 1779 or in 1780, where he practised his profession as an importer of swords and sword blades from Solingen. He had a shop in London at 8 Tookes Court, Castle Street, Holborn, sometimes also listed as Chancery Lane as which ran adjacent to Tookes Court, where he sold swords both to military officers and to other sword retailers; his main business was selling unmounted blades to other English cutlers, for modification and mounting as they saw fit. He also imported and sold un-manufactured steel.
Although it is common to find Runkel's name on infantry and cavalry swords, there are also examples of Scottish basket-hilted broadswords with Runkel's name on the blade.[6] It is rare for swords found in America from the time period in question to be marked with Runkel's name on the blades.
In 1786, the East India Company arranged a 'quality trial' for swords, at the demand of Thomas Gill (another English sword manufacturer). Around 1400 of Runkel's blades were tested, and of these, 28 were rejected for failing to meet the necessary quality standards.
In 1787, Runkel was brought to trial at the Court of Exchequer for the alleged undervaluing of imported goods. The trial did not run to completion, but concluded when Runkel agreed to settle and pay two thirds of the value of the confiscated swords, as well as all court costs and expenses. His payment for the swords came to £1480, a sum that in 1787 could be worth around £172,600 in today's money.
Even with these court cases and opposition from other sellers, during the period from 1795 to 1808, he was probably one of the most important merchants involved in the trade of Solingen blades in London. He became a naturalised British subject in March 1796, and in May of the same year he became a freeman of the Cutlers Company. Most of his imports came through the port of Enden in Saxony: a port that handled many different items of export from the Ruhr Valley, that Runkel seemed to favour for his business. His monthly imports were usually measured in the hundreds of blades per shipment, sometimes in thousands.
In 1803, Runkel arranged a large order for the Prince of Wales' Regiment of Dragoons. He imported 500 swords and 100 blades from Solingen, bringing them into Britain on the on the ship Vrouw Maria.
In March 1806, the British government confiscated 1650 swords and blades imported by Runkel, because he undervalued them to reduce his import tax bill. He was required to pay a penalty of £5 per unit, £8250 in total; a sum that in 1806 could be worth around £614,000 in today's money. In June of the same year, the British government confiscated an imported cask of un-manufactured steel, for the same reason again.
Nonetheless, in July of 1806, business was still good enough to warrant Runkel taking on an indentured apprentice (as was the fashion and method of the time). His new apprentice was Abraham Neef from Solingen, the son of a long-standing family of Solingen cutlers; it has been suggested that it was from the Neef family that Runkel bought most (if not all) of the blades that he imported between 1780 and 1808.
Runkel died in 1808.

Вопрос: Почему Solingen написано как Sohlingen.
Из Википедии:
Золинген впервые появляется в письменных источниках в 1067 году, под именем Solonchon. Другие средневековые транскрипции: Solengen (1168, 1172), Solingen (1174), Solungun, Solungen (1356, 1382), Soileggen (1363, 1366, 1377) и Soleggen (1365). Как явствует из множества литературных и археологических данных, металлургическое производство в Золингене существует не менее 2000 лет. Примечательно, что золингенскими мечами были вооружены первые англо-саксонские короли Британии[

Встречается и не только у Рункеля. Пишут, что это старая орфография до конца 18 века.
