Napoleonic sabres and swords
Under this heading you can find the Napoleonic soldier's basic weapons such as the Infantry Sabre Briquet or the Cutlass Sabre, but also some very fine weapons outstandingly replicated down to the markings matching exactly those of that time.
See our hussar sabres, all our sabres with blue and gold blades as our sabre for officier subalterne de chasseur a cheval de la garde.
We make our copies using a hugh documentation, but also genuine pieces from our personal but also from private collections, from which we make moulds.
Caution, most of our sabres are not made for fencing, when it is possible we indicate it clearly.
Our swordknots are functional, you can adjust them to your wrists, we make them in our atelier in France.

We worked about 2 years to obtain blue and gold colour as 2 centuries ago on this french Officer Subalterne Saber.
This sabre equipped officers of imperial guard, especially the "chasseur à cheval de la garde" who had to follow the Emperor and protect him in all situations.
It explains why this sabre is so prestigious.
Have a look to fine details on scabbard: eagle, spider net...See engravings on blade.

Scabbard for oriental sabre/mamelouk, NO POSSIBLE RETURN. Price by one
PRECEDENT PRICE: 85 €.
Extra scabbards on stock for years.
They need a cleaning, first customers will receive the cleanest, then what is remaining.

All this is extremely difficult to find.
If you are lucky enough to have a sabre that fits with it, congratulation, you double its value. If not, sorry you keep it and use spare pieces.

Fascicules ARIES: ARMES BLANCHES MILITAIRES FRANCAISES, du regne de Louis XIV à nos jours
Document de travail indispensable pour les collectionneurs et reconstitueurs.
Le propriétaire précédent de ces fascicules dont la parution s'est échelonnée pendant plus de 20 ans a eu la très bonne idée de les relier par thématique.
Tous ceux qui ont utilisé les fascicules non reliés parus dans un ordre parfois déroutant, apprécieront cette initiative!
329 planches reliées en 7 volumes + 5 séries de fascicules brochés.
Poids total de 14,4 kg. L'ensemble des fascicules avec les coffrets pèse normalement 15 kg.
Ici les coffrets ont été remplacés par les couvertures. S'il manque des fascicules (nous ne les avons pas tous repointés...), ce ne pourrait être que quelques unités!
Les modèles sont précisément décrits avec des indications sur le poids, les dimensions, les variantes....etc.
Un travail jamais égalé qui est largement remboursé par les erreurs que vous éviterez de commettre grâce aux informations contenues dans les planches.
Les étiquettes des couvertures des livres sont un peu fatiguées, bon état par ailleurs, planches impeccables.
Aigle et pistolet pas inclus dans le prix, il s'agit juste d'une suggestion de représentation

Ces 2 épées ont donc en commun:
- Un pommeau provenant d'une épée de la fin du XVIII ème siècle, percé sur le côté pour accueillir une branche de garde qui n'a plus lieu d'être sur une épée de combat/duel.
- Une fusée du type utilisé sur les épées d'escrime à la fin du XIX ème siècle recouverte de 2 filigranes torsadés de 2 sections différentes.
- Un plateau bivalve en laiton repercé
-Une lame à fort talon.

Bokken. Price without display
Voici ce qu'en dit wikipedia:
"Le bokken (木剣?, littéralement « sabre de bois ») ou bokutō (木刀?, nom généralement utilisé au Japon) est un sabre japonais en bois imitant la forme du katana.
Il peut être utilisé avec la garde (tsuba) qui protège les mains, ou sans la garde.
Il est employé dans l'aïkido, le iaido, le jōdō, le kendo, le kenjutsu et le ninjutsu. Il est également utilisé comme arme pour l'entrainement au chanbara. Utilisé à l'origine pour l'entraînement, il est aussi devenu une arme de combat. Le samouraï Miyamoto Musashi est réputé pour ses combats au bokken, notamment lors de son duel contre Kojirō Sasaki. Il est l'arme par excellence du kenjutsu dans la plupart des koryū.
Comme les katanas, les bokken ont suivi leur époque, et chaque école traditionnelle historique — Tenshin Shoden Katori Shintō Ryu, Kashima Shinto Ryu, Yagyu Ryu, Yagyu Shinkage Ryu, Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu, etc. — possède des caractéristiques physiques, poids, courbure, longueur, pointe, épaisseur, adaptée à la technique de cette école. Il existe aujourd’hui plus d’une centaine de modèles, dont environ la moitié est toujours utilisée."
