Description

C1800 Imperial French Infantry Guard Officer’s Sword. ED 2340

This is an original C1800 Imperial French Infantry Guard Officer’s Sword (see page 187 of Wither’s book ‘World Swords’). It has a wire bound hilt, brass guard and knuckle bow. It also has a Guard’s helm shaped pommel. The bullion wire binding is all present but has unwound a little in the centre section which can be seen in the images. The fullered 32 ½” blade is straight and undamaged and has just light staining consistent with age. There are no manufacturer or date marks. The sword measures 39 ¼” overall. As is common our example is without scabbard. The price includes UK delivery. ED 2340
