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.
Il était porté à l'avant-bras gauche.
Ce symbole apparaît à la fin du XVIIIè siècle quand l'institution religieuse rend publique la cérémonie de la communion, et la tradition perdure jusqu'aux années 1950.
La couleur blanche de ce brassard symbolise la pureté de celui qui est officiellement autorisé à communier.

Charmy, la garde imperiale à pied. Splendeurs des uniformes de Napoléon
Charmy offre des détails que l'on retrouve difficilement chez les autres auteurs, notamment des vues synthétiques selon les grades, et des tableaux où l'on suit l'évolution des uniformes selon les périodes.
En plus il a abordé des sujets négligés par les autres grands auteurs en uniformologie, comme la marine.
Même si son trait manque parfois de finesse, c'est donc un auteur qui ne doit pas être négligé dans une bonne bibliothèque uniformologique Napoléonienne.

Couverture rigide, bon état, sauf tout petit manque à la jaquette. 240 pages

Sabre for officer, revolution
Translation soon....
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.
Une raparation a été effectuée à la jonction branche/pommeau.
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.
