Original sword for officer, 1 st empire.

  1. Out of stock

A fine, so-called uniform sword, with a board characteristic of the evolution of sword handles from the Revolution to the end of the Empire.
The board, which was symmetrical and lyre-shaped under the ancien régime, narrowed in the part of the guard that rested against the body, to the point that this part was eventually cut almost entirely off, so as not to hinder movement.
This sword reaches the end of this evolution with the counter handle, which remains as a remnant.

Once fitted with a new scabbard, you can use this sword in historical reenactments.
WARNING: While the blade was indeed designed for combat, it was over 200 years ago!
If you break it while using it for combat, we will not replace it.
Total length: 95 cm.
