We were not satisfied of existing copies.
So we bought an original sabre, and we made moulds from it, and we have choosen to put a blade that really existed and was attributed to General Merda (!).

On one face you can read " Au Grand Napoléon 1er Empereur des Français et Roi d'Italie", on the other side was indicated name of his regiment followed by " Pour l'Honneur et la Patrie".
Merda arrested Robespierre and Couthon on night between 27th to 28th july 1794 (9 to 10 thermidor) An II.


Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur in 1804 then officer in 1807, he becomes baron Méda (it sounds better in french!). He fights with his regiment, in battles of Eylau, Wagram, Smolensk.

He is deeply wounded during Moskova-Borodino battle on 5th septembre 1812, is promoted général de brigade and dies 3 days later.
