La garde est un modèle comme on en trouve sur les sabres de mineurs, mais sans branches de garde, commes ur le ssabres de hussard.
La lame mesure 80cm, donc plutôt destinée à un officier monté.

Il reste des traces d'argenture sur la chape et le passant de bélière ainsi que sur la garde, c'était donc un modèle d'officier.
Manque à l'extrémité de cuir du fourreau, pas de bouterolle...petit prix, dans son jus, vient en direct d'un grenier.

Brassard de communiant ancien, embroidered
Translation later.....if not sold
Le brassard de communiant se présente sous la forme d'un large nœud de soie blanche avec 2 pans séparés qui tombent au dessous du coude et se terminent par un dessin de broderie d'où pendent les fils flottant librement.
Le brassard de communion était fièrement arboré par les garçons qui au seuil de leur adolescence, passaient leur communion.
