SABERS AND SWORDS, SEMI INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION, SWORDKNOTS, NEW TYPES !

Under this heading you can find the Napoleonic soldier's basic weapons such as the Infantry Saber Briquet or the Cutlass Saber, but also some very fine weapons outstandingly replicated down to the markings matching exactly those of that time.

We have exclusive suppliers who make us a special production.
USE FOR FENCING: our blades are quite good, the way they are assembled with handle is less good. It means that blades can be used in light fights between bayonets and sabres for instance, but not for real fights.
Sabres Peccoraro, Hutton, Radelli types are especially made for intensive fencing.
Caution: real SHIPPING COSTS for these sabres are quite more expensive than our fixed shipping prices.
You can order it with no additive cost from countries bordering France. For other countries ask us, shipping cost for USA is for instance 85 € and usual fixed price is 45 €, so you have to pay 40 € more. We cannot know all foreign regulations, before you order any sabre or sword, please inform you about the regulation in your country. We won't accept any claim if you have problems with importation, and we will keep payment of shipping in any case because we pay it as anybody.
