DIVERS MILITARIA XIX et XXème SIECLE
Passionnés d'histoire = collectionneurs sur les bords.
Lors du rachat de stocks de costumiers, dans des ventes...etc, nous avons accumulé un certains nombres d'objets, plus ou moins "dans leur jus". Nous avons cessé la location et n'avons plus de raison de garder certains objets qui pourrons faire le bonheur des collectionneurs.
Nous nous efforcerons de vous donner des commentaires les plus objectifs possibles, pour que vous puissiez acheter en connaissance de cause. Les copies, remontages et transformations qui affectent souvent les objets militaires anciens rendent cette rubrique très "sensible".
Nous veillerons à ce que vous achetiez les objets pour ce qu'ils sont, pas pour ce qu'ils donnent l'impression d'être.

35 mm - metallic braid, silver -OLD PRODUCTION. Price per meter
This braid is cold to the touch, which is characteristic of older products; it warms to the touch.
It is not new, and as such, it may show very slight localized yellowing at the edges.
It would be perfect for restoring antique or reenactment costumes, but unsuitable for making contemporary outfits that are supposed to be new.
Military trimmings made in France before 1960 by David Company.

FR WWI. Nickel-plated buttons for cuirassiers, troopers. Pre-1915 stock. 15 and 21 mm, priced per unit.

They were quickly replaced by blackened buttons, which were much more discreet.

Braid for lieutenant colonel, circa 1900. By 75 cm
Why 75 cm?
Because that's the maximum length you'll need to trim the cuffs of a jacket.
A cap circumference will be 65 cm at most, including the seam.
You'll only lose a few cm by buying 75 cm in lengths; buying per meter would be much more troublesome for this rare metal braid, produced by David around 1900.
Width 64 mm. This braid is particularly heavy; note the direction of the striations: vertical for gold, horizontal for silver.
It's about a hundred years old, so it's not without its small stains, which will make it even more consistent on old outfits or hairstyles.
Very limited stock.

Lot of 2 officer sabres 1821 type, without scabbard. SPECIAL FENCING
Without a scabbard and with a lack that devalues the price in collection, some completely authentic weapons go down to prices that make them less expensive than current copies, whose qualities of solidity are clearly less good than those of old weapons ... but an old weapon has a past, has undergone a use that we do not know, and we cannot therefore guarantee that its blade will break after 20 years of use ... or after 5 minutes.
You pay less for the weapon than a new one, it remains a collector's item, it is a bet that you make on the future, you buy with full knowledge of the facts.
We offer you a few homogeneous pairs to be able to fight in equal conditions with an opponent, as part of a show.
For safety reasons, we advise you to grind the edges and round the tips of the blades.
Good fight, good collection!Discounts

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.

Heavy cavalry sabre for officer. Circa 1900
Our first impression when we first held this sword was rather negative.
The leather of the scabbard is very fine, roughly finished, and its trimmings are really thin for a military weapon, we were leaning towards a good piece, equipped with a totally adequate scabbard. Except that this saber is equipped with a rush blade, not common, and that the cover is of a specific model to allow the passage of such a blade.
After all, it has been a long time since the sabers that equip our military no longer have any combat function.
This saber is therefore probably a so-called "commercial" model which was originally equipped with a light scabbard, the leather of which has been redone.
The saber and scabbard assembly weighs only 853 grams. Its total length is 100 cm.
Beautiful chiseled bronze handle, very pleasing to see. Uncommon
-
Proposal of swordknot to accompany General Lassale's saber.
General Lassale's original saber is accompanied, in its display case at Les Invalides, by a very complicated swordknot which ends with numerous tassels decorated with fragments of red coral.
We have given up on offering such a strap which could have cost half the price of the sword and is not necessarily of interest to collectors of swords.
On the other hand, we found in the old stocks of the David Establishments, straps ending in a tassel in a shape very close to those which sometimes adorned the sabers of the Mamluks.
These swordknots are not very expensive and the model is interesting.

Model 1854 rifleman's or reserve cavalry saber, with scabbard (nickel-plated?).
The Model 1854 saber is a French cavalry saber for troops and officers.
It was adopted by the Carabinieri in 1854, marking a return to the straight blade for heavy cavalry.
It was later adopted by the reserve cavalry, then by the dragoons.
Originally measuring 100 cm, the blade was reduced to 975 mm for the dragoons, then further shortened after the 1870 war.

Souvenirs portraits: 10 th regiment artillry et 11 th cuirassier
Vers la fin du XIX ème siècle et jusqu'à la guerre de 14, il était de bon ton de se faire tirer le portrait, et de faire incruster son visage dans l'image d'un soldat de son régiment mis en scène dans une espèce d'allégorie du régiment en pleine action.
Cela donne des images naïves, mais qui nous renseignent aussi sur les us et coutumes de l'époque, le matériel utilisé, son evolution...Etc. il est aussi parfois émouvant de retrouver la trace des hommes ainsi mis en scène.
Nous vous proposons 2 portraits.
Un soldat (nom inconnu) du 10 ème d'artillerie, (cadre 59 X 51 cm), postérieur à 1915, car on y voit un casque adrian au dessus de l'écusson en haut à droite, au dessus du drapeau national.
Celui du cavalier Robinot, du 11 ème cuir, le portrait (cadre 45 X 57 cm) est plus ancien, le biplan qui survole le champ de bataille doit être un des 1ers "aéroplanes" mis en service.
Pas cher, le prix comprend l'emballage renforcé pour éviter la casse. Petite fêlure du verre dans l'angle supérieur droit du cadre du cuirassier (voir image), vendu en l'état

Boucle de ceinturon au croissant et à l'étoile

Copie de casque adrian.
Nous nous sommes posés la question de l'utilité de vendre de tels casques alors qu'il est possible de trouver de bonnes pièces à des prix raisonnables, mais....1) Abimer une pièce historique en la portant n'est pas forcément une très bonne idée, c'est comme ça que des objets assez abondants finissent par disparaitre. 2 ) Les tours de tête des "poilus" ne sont pas forcément adaptés à des têtes du XXI ème siècle, ces copies de casques sont plus facilement utilisables. Bref, nous nous sommes décidés à vendre ces casques, vos achats nous confirmeront, ou pas, si c'était une bonne idée.
