Sabre d'officier d'infanterie, modèle 1845/1855
Modèle qui a eu une longue existence, puisqu'il est apparu en 1845 avec fourreau cuir, est passé au fourreau acier à 2 anneaux en 1855, puis à un seul anneau en 1882, pour continuer sa carrière jusqu'à la seconde guerre mondiale. Comme il est plutôt courant, le prix n'est pas élevé, surtout sans fourreau.
On peut se permettre de l'utiliser en combat pour de l'escrime de spectacle, vu que la lame a été "étudiée pour", mais nous ne vous offrons aucune garantie, ça passe ou ça casse, mais vous n'aurez pas abimé une rareté et elle vous aura couté moins cher qu'une repro pas toujours aussi solide.
Donc à acheter pour la collection si vous ne l'avez pas déjà, mais aussi pour le spectacle si ça vous dit.

Officer's saber for general staff and general officers, used during the Third Republic, complete with sword knot.
This model was originally designed for heavy cavalry officers.
It was subsequently adopted by the general staff and general officers (see the drawings in the photographs), who occasionally took liberties with the original regulations regarding blade length, patterns, and blade types.
Generals would add stars to these sabers to denote their rank—two for a brigadier general, three for a divisional general, and so on.
The piece offered here features a blade with no specific markings and a double fuller, heavily inspired by the heavy cavalry blades used during the Empire; it combines sturdiness with a reasonable weight—though the use of sabers in combat became extremely rare after 1870. Since general staff and senior officers often purchased their own weapons from private retailers, it is not unusual for them to lack official military markings.
The grip has lost its wire wrapping and shows a small hole from a wood-boring insect; otherwise, it is in good condition. The scabbard is of a later date but is of the correct pattern.
Total length: 112 cm; blade length: 96 cm.
The piece comes with a fine parade sword knot for a senior officer, making for a very attractive, decorative set.

Infantry officer's saber (Line or National Guard), Model 1821. Grip covering replaced; no scabbard. Suitable for pirate costumes, light fencing, etc.
Bronze hilt with a leather-wrapped grip (not the original pattern).
A saber that has spanned two centuries and shows the ravages of time.
Suitable for a pirate costume in a performance, for instance, or for light fencing; the blade was originally designed for combat, but after 200 years, there are no guarantees.
Blade with a central ridge and a false edge on the last 20 cm; oxidized, but free of deep pitting.
Total length: 90 cm (blade: 77 cm).

Sabre for staff officer. Circa 1900
OLD PRICE: €395!
A saber featuring a "reed-back" blade (with a rounded spine), a style uncommon in French production.
The scabbard leather is very fine, and the fittings are remarkably thin for a military weapon; however, the throat piece is of a specific design intended to accommodate this type of blade.
Military sabers have long since ceased to serve any combat function.
This saber is therefore a "commercial" model, originally fitted with a lightweight scabbard—though the leather may have been replaced at some point.
The combined weight of the saber and scabbard is just 853g. Its total length is 100 cm.
It features a beautiful, chased bronze hilt that is very pleasing to the eye. A rare find.

Light cavalry officer's saber, Empire/restoration. Blade engraved with blue and gold decoration. Scabbard with brass fittings.
Authentic light cavalry officer's saber.
Leather-covered grip (with losses) and wire wrap showing some localized oxidation. Brass hilt.
Three-bar guard with two langets. Total length 93 cm, including an 80 cm blade featuring fine engravings and traces of original bluing and gilding.
Gilded marking at the ricasso, partially obscured by the langets and difficult to read.
Scabbard of the pattern used during the First Empire—specifically, flat along the upper edge.
The scabbard throat piece is missing (as is often the case)
-
Sabre for infantry officers in Consulate/Empire style
A classic pattern from the Consulate and Empire periods that continued to be used subsequently throughout Europe.

Good period scabbard. Total length: 92 cm.

French cutlass, 1833 type, original guard, replaced blade, marked MF, new scabbard
Regulation saber issued to the French Navy from 1833, with a good original hilt, duly stamped, in its original condition.
The blade is not original, it has been replaced with a shorter (cm) and lighter blade, engraved at the ricasso, "HAL," like the end of "KlingentHAL."
It should be kept as is with replacement blade. The hilt is good, perhaps one day you will find a good blade for a saber with a damaged hilt and will be able to replace it?
We have included a good replica of the scabbard, with its small white leather tab, for use in reenactment.

French cutlass, 1833 type, original guard, replaced blade, marked "TZ"?, new scabbard
Regulation saber issued to the French Navy from 1833, with a good original hilt, duly stamped, in its original condition.
The blade is not original; it has been replaced with a shorter (cm) and lighter blade, engraved with what seems to be "TZ" at the ricasso.
It should be kept as is, or with a replacement blade. The hilt is good, perhaps one day you will find a good blade from a saber with a damaged hilt and will be able to replace it?
We have included a good replica of the scabbard, with its small white leather tab, for use in reenactment.

Special lot for hobbyists: Louis XV sword and engraved saber blade
We found this fine Louis XV sword missing its pommel; we have paired it with a period-correct pommel matching the 1767 uniform sword pattern—also dating to the Louis XV era.
You will need to attach it to the tang yourself, if you want. The blade is short (60 cm) but authentic to the period; it features a robust diamond cross-section and measures 35 mm in width at the base of the ricasso.
The weapon's total length is 78 cm; as a reminder, not all officers were tall, and blades were typically proportioned to the height of the men who carried them.
We are also including a 655 mm saber blade, engraved on both sides with various symbols and letters of unknown meaning.
The tang is not original, and we cannot guarantee the blade's authenticity; however, the set is affordably priced, and the blade would look impressive mounted on a small late-18th-century infantry saber.

Crown decorated with Jupiter's winged thunderbolt. Double guard with a fixed front section molded in relief with an oak branch and a laurel branch resting on a bundle of six flags. Three silver stars are riveted to the guard, marking the rank of Major General.
The counter-guard is decorated with an oak branch and a laurel branch tied together with a ribbon. Decorated ferrules.
Tortoiseshell grip, minor damage not very noticeable.
Otherwise in fair condition. total length 100 cm, blade 84 cm.
Scabbard missing. Straight, double-edged blade, unmarked. Fine quality of original chasing and gilding.

Saber for dragoon and light cavalry, 1790 type.
A completely authentic revolutionary saber, which doesn't betray the manufacture of the period, often without markings... Whatever could be found was used to equip the soldiers of the levy en masse, the good and the bad.
Total length 106 cm including a 90 cm blade. Semi-pink copper hilt, with 3 branches, leather-wrapped knuckle trimmed with a simple filigree. It is generally in good condition.
This type of saber was not in production for very long, but it continued to be used throughout the Napoleonic Wars.
This saber was appraised by JJ Buigne (Le Hussard) about fifteen years ago, see last picture, and valued at €1,100. He defines it as a light cavalry saber.
Some dragoon regiments were indeed converted into light cavalry regiments in 1790 and retained the sabers they had previously, but the double-fulled blades were more specifically used by the dragoons.

Dagger for junior officers of french air force, 1934 type, modified 1954 - copie
Quadrangular rocket-shaped handle made of very dark blue plastic...which actually appears black.
26 cm straight blade with a ricasso bordered by two curved rods/springs ensuring the blade is locked in place, manufacturer's markings.
Overall length: 410 mm
Sheath covered in thin imitation leather, some scratches, 3 brass fittings, two small suspension rings.
Model created for Air Force non-commissioned officers before World War II, adopted on July 20, 1934.
In 1954, the Air Force Commissariat's manufacturing department (SFCA) produced the dagger and made several minor modifications, notably the addition of small metal strips serving as springs to attach the sheath to the dagger.
Finally, in 1979, for the sake of simplification, senior non-commissioned officers and majors received the same dagger (white handle) as officers. A variant was introduced in 1979.

Type 1822 cavalry officer's sabre modified in 1883
This type of saber could be purchased by officers in the department stores of the time; therefore, they are neither numbered nor engraved with an indication of their assignment. A fine piece, in original condition, with minor oxidation from attic storage. The blade has a well-defined fuller.

First Empire model ship's/boarding saber with 1833 model blade and new scabbard
Rare ship's or boarding saber with a First Empire pattern hilt (a pinhead-sized hole in the shell is noteworthy). The quillon is cut into a palmette, a characteristic of the First Empire.
675 mm curved blade with markings on the spine: "Manuf de Chatellerault...", which remain illegible. Rust and talc on the blade, easily cleaned.
Chatellerault manufactured the blades for the boarding sabers between 1835 and 1861, so the blade is indeed of the 1833 pattern.
It no longer has any visible punch marks and has been thoroughly cleaned; the two regulatory anchors are, however, visible on both sides.
When the ship's saber pattern was changed in 1833, not all the sabers of the earlier pattern were put away! They continued to be used until the stock was exhausted, even if defective blades had to be replaced. This allowed us to find a few sabers modified in this way, which were less expensive than the (very) rare 100% original pieces.
The scabbard is a new one, for use in reenactment.
Michel Petard states in his book "Le sabre d'abordage" (The Boarding Saber) that no scabbard of the Year IX model has survived.

WW I. French bayonet for Berthier rifle + Flask + leather belt
Lot including:
Bayonet for a Berthier rifle, in excavated condition.
Canteen without fabric lining.
Objects particularly emblematic of the Great War.
The canteen contained the "pinard" ration that helped soldiers endure the trenches. Every trick was used to increase the ration.
Some put beans in it to swell in water, others fired a blank cartridge into it with their Lebel rifle.
Sometimes it burst, sometimes it gave a little bonus.
Memories recounted by Maurice Guinhut, a soldier in 1914.
The braided belt is typical of the Great War. It was unregulated work done by recruits who knew how to work leather and sometimes had a lot of free time.

Sword for junior officer of Second Empire.
The Second Empire junior officer's sword has a beautiful acid-etched blade, more typical of a Second Empire or early Third Republic civil servant's sword.
The push button that allows the guard to be flipped up is present and functional; otherwise, it is in good condition. No scabbard, total length 84 cm, price reflects this.
-
Briquet sabre.
A remarkable specimen; the blade is in poor condition, but the hilt is of an unusual pattern—it is hollow, made of brass, and appears to have been constructed in two parts.
Most notably, it bears numerous inscriptions in large characters: "1814" and "IBA.v. L.N.28."
28th Line Infantry Regiment???? 1814. Price reflects the condition; an uncommon model, never encountered before.

3 african weapons
It's not brand new, it could use a good cleaning, but it's inexpensive.
The cross-shaped sword is a Tuareg takouba, the weapon of choice for warriors, some of whom were still wearing chainmail and other equipment used by knights during the Crusades at the beginning of the 20th century, equipment that had somehow ended up in Africa.
Sometimes takoubas are fitted with good old European blades, but that's not the case here.
The sword with its checkered scabbard is quite impressive for a collector.
We're also including a dagger with a flaming blade, which, contrary to some false claims, wasn't designed to make straight holes when its user was trembling!
Its scabbard is made of engraved black leather. For a beginner's collection, it's quite eclectic and worth a look.

Sword for artistical fencing
Unusual type of sword for artistical fencing.
Handle is particularly elaborate, the cup to protect the hands is of a model never encountered before, in a somewhat Art Deco style.
The blade is indeed a good fencing blade, designed for combat...but old, which means that it can last 10 years or break from the first touches, so we cannot guarantee it.
Two copies on sale.

Thin belt for holster for Revolver, 1892 type, made by David Freres. Made more than 100 years ago, as new.
We acquired a stock from a supplier active between 1848 and the late 1950s.
These military supplies had been sitting in an attic for over 60 years.
We were delighted to discover numerous military accessories among them, including these belts for "ham-style" holsters; they were wrapped in their original paper and are in near-mint condition.
This is the elusive accessory needed to complete the "ham-style" holster for the Model 1892 revolver. While the leather neck strap is relatively easy to find, this belt is extremely rare. They were worn at navel height—over the tunic—meaning they sat at the widest part of the waist.
Although never used, they have been in storage for over a century; the metal buckles may show slight oxidation, and the leather might benefit from a softening treatment or even a touch of dye—we leave the pleasure of doing this to you, should you wish.
