Dagger for junior officers of french air force, 1934 type, modified 1954 - copie
Quadrangular rocket-shaped handle made of very dark blue plastic...which actually appears black.
26 cm straight blade with a ricasso bordered by two curved rods/springs ensuring the blade is locked in place, manufacturer's markings.
Overall length: 410 mm
Sheath covered in thin imitation leather, some scratches, 3 brass fittings, two small suspension rings.
Model created for Air Force non-commissioned officers before World War II, adopted on July 20, 1934.
In 1954, the Air Force Commissariat's manufacturing department (SFCA) produced the dagger and made several minor modifications, notably the addition of small metal strips serving as springs to attach the sheath to the dagger.
Finally, in 1979, for the sake of simplification, senior non-commissioned officers and majors received the same dagger (white handle) as officers. A variant was introduced in 1979.

Light cavalry officer's saber. Empire/Restoration
Antique piece.
First Empire/Restoration model, with its original scabbard, which is still flat on top. Good antique blade, but without engraving or markings; there is some doubt about the leather grip, which may have been restored. Price reflects this.
In pristine condition, this sword could be worth twice as much.
Length: 97 cm (blade length: 81 cm)
Weight with scabbard: 1350 g.

26 cm straight blade with a heel edged with two curved rods/springs ensuring the blade lock, manufacturer's markings.

Short sabre for infantry officer. Revolution period. Without scabbard
Total length 67 cm, blade length 55 cm. This is not a shortened blade; it has a fuller, and the blade's hollow ends well before the point.
A revolutionary saber, therefore made with whatever was available at the time, when large numbers of soldiers needed to be equipped, at a time when industry was not prepared for such a need. Good condition

Sword of a divisional general officer, 3rd Republic
Gilt bronze hilt, single-branch guard decorated with Jupiter's flaming thunderbolt and laurel branches.
Crown decorated with Jupiter's winged thunderbolt. Double guard with a fixed front section molded in relief with an oak branch and a laurel branch resting on a bundle of six flags. Three silver stars are riveted to the guard, marking the rank of Major General.
The counter-guard is decorated with an oak branch and a laurel branch tied together with a ribbon. Decorated ferrules.
Tortoiseshell grip, minor damage not very noticeable.
Otherwise in fair condition. total length 100 cm, blade 84 cm.
Scabbard missing. Straight, double-edged blade, unmarked. Fine quality of original chasing and gilding.

Sabre briquet, "Manuf Rle du Klingenthal mars 1816"
Blade with 3 stamps and back engraved "Manuf Rle du Klingenthal mars 1816".
Original and fragile scabbard, not to use in re enactments.
Total length 73 cm, blade 59 cm.
This was kind of the "Swiss Army knife" of the Empire soldier. It was used to chop wood as well as to cut up food. Although they were absolutely useless when fighting against cavalry sabres, infantrymen would nevertheless hold on to it. Complies with contemporary rules

Briquet sabre, PRADIER, cutler in Paris from 1816 to 1835. Period scabbard
Good, solid 28-fluted hilt of the type used during the Napoleonic era.
Hallmarked with a "B" surmounted by a crown (?) on the blade's ricasso.
Original scabbard, slightly shrunken, with remnants of a woolen tie.
Overall length 73 cm, blade 59 cm.
This was kind of the "Swiss Army knife" of the Empire soldier. It was used to chop wood as well as to cut up food. Although they were absolutely useless when fighting against cavalry sabres, infantrymen would nevertheless hold on to it. Complies with contemporary rules.

18th century hunting dagger, silver fittings
Beautiful period piece.

Long and wide blade, locally oxidized, but potentially functional.
Total length 80 cm, blade 64 cm, similar to some infantry sabers. In original condition.

Saber for dragoon and light cavalry, 1790 type.
A completely authentic revolutionary saber, which doesn't betray the manufacture of the period, often without markings... Whatever could be found was used to equip the soldiers of the levy en masse, the good and the bad.
Total length 106 cm including a 90 cm blade. Semi-pink copper hilt, with 3 branches, leather-wrapped knuckle trimmed with a simple filigree. It is generally in good condition.
This type of saber was not in production for very long, but it continued to be used throughout the Napoleonic Wars.
This saber was appraised by JJ Buigne (Le Hussard) about fifteen years ago, see last picture, and valued at €1,100. He defines it as a light cavalry saber.
Some dragoon regiments were indeed converted into light cavalry regiments in 1790 and retained the sabers they had previously, but the double-fulled blades were more specifically used by the dragoons.

First Empire model ship's/boarding saber with 1833 model blade and new scabbard
Rare ship's or boarding saber with a First Empire pattern hilt (a pinhead-sized hole in the shell is noteworthy). The quillon is cut into a palmette, a characteristic of the First Empire.
675 mm curved blade with markings on the spine: "Manuf de Chatellerault...", which remain illegible. Rust and talc on the blade, easily cleaned.
Chatellerault manufactured the blades for the boarding sabers between 1835 and 1861, so the blade is indeed of the 1833 pattern.
It no longer has any visible punch marks and has been thoroughly cleaned; the two regulatory anchors are, however, visible on both sides.
When the ship's saber pattern was changed in 1833, not all the sabers of the earlier pattern were put away! They continued to be used until the stock was exhausted, even if defective blades had to be replaced. This allowed us to find a few sabers modified in this way, which were less expensive than the (very) rare 100% original pieces.
The scabbard is a new one, for use in reenactment.
Michel Petard states in his book "Le sabre d'abordage" (The Boarding Saber) that no scabbard of the Year IX model has survived.

Infantry officer Consulat - Empire sabre. Original sabre, new scabbard
A fine period hilt, in good condition, with its melon-ribbed pommel and guard branch adorned with an olive in its center, typical of models that appeared from the Consulate period onward.
The blade is engraved with traces of gilding. Blade slightly moves inside guard, and the blade is a bit oxidized; it almost looks like Damascus steel... but it isn't.
Otherwise, it's in good condition with a pleasing patina.
New scabbard for use in reenactments.

Artillery staff officer sword, restoration.
Restoration period artillery officer's sword.

Imperial staff officer's sword. Scabbard remade (?)similar to the original model
A typical staff sword, distinguished by the symbols on the hilt, used during the Empire and up to the Restoration.
Also note the central motif on the guard, an eagle, which allows us to attribute this sword to the Empire period. There is a small crack in the grip, but it is not significant. The blade is old, but unmarked, and its Empire period cannot be guaranteed. The scabbard matches the pattern and is in very (too) good condition, suggesting a restoration, but a high-quality one. Overall, it is very pleasing to the eye, with its beautifully chiseled helmet-shaped pommel.
Total length 96 cm.

Set of 2 swords: senior naval officer of Restoration period + junior officer of Second Empire.
The Restoration-era naval officer's sword has a pommel engraved with a fleur-de-lis, a feature reserved for high-ranking officers' swords. The mother-of-pearl inlays are missing, and the sword primarily needs a thorough cleaning. The blade is covered with a layer of rust, which is not too difficult to remove. It is engraved with the inscription "Manufacture Royale de Klingenthal" accompanied by attractive engravings. The Second Empire junior officer's sword has a beautiful acid-etched blade, more typical of a Second Empire or early Third Republic civil servant's sword. The push button that allows the guard to be flipped up is present and functional; otherwise, it is in good condition. No scabbard; price reflects this.

3 sabres: officer 1821 and 1855 type and briquet.
The 1821 saber is in very poor condition, but it remains interesting for potentially salvaging the hilt and blade, or for theatrical fencing after a thorough cleaning.
The 1845/1855 pattern saber is simply dirty and needs a good cleaning/stripping. After treatment, it will be suitable for a collection or for use in fencing. The model is inexpensive, so it's not rare. Don't worry about damaging a rare item; others will follow. This saber was used from 1845 until World War II. Once cleaned, it will be quite impressive.
The briquet is more surprising; the blade is a wreck, but the hilt is of an unusual design, hollow, and appears to have been made in two parts.
Most importantly, it is marked with numerous inscriptions in large characters: 1814 and IBA.v. L.N.28.
28th Line Infantry Regiment???? Price reflects the condition.

3 african weapons
It's not brand new, it could use a good cleaning, but it's inexpensive.
The cross-shaped sword is a Tuareg takouba, the weapon of choice for warriors, some of whom were still wearing chainmail and other equipment used by knights during the Crusades at the beginning of the 20th century, equipment that had somehow ended up in Africa.
Sometimes takoubas are fitted with good old European blades, but that's not the case here.
The sword with its checkered scabbard is quite impressive for a collector.
We're also including a dagger with a flaming blade, which, contrary to some false claims, wasn't designed to make straight holes when its user was trembling!
Its scabbard is made of engraved black leather. For a beginner's collection, it's quite eclectic and worth a look.

Heavy cavalry sabre for officer. Circa 1900
Our first impression when we first held this sword was rather negative.
The leather of the scabbard is very fine, roughly finished, and its trimmings are really thin for a military weapon, we were leaning towards a good piece, equipped with a totally adequate scabbard. Except that this saber is equipped with a rush blade, not common, and that the cover is of a specific model to allow the passage of such a blade.
After all, it has been a long time since the sabers that equip our military no longer have any combat function.
This saber is therefore probably a so-called "commercial" model which was originally equipped with a light scabbard, the leather of which has been redone.
The saber and scabbard assembly weighs only 853 grams. Its total length is 100 cm.
Beautiful chiseled bronze handle, very pleasing to see. Uncommon

Lot de 2 armes de théâtre style renaissance, avec bonnes lames anciennes.
For decoration or show, this is how swords were conceived and manufactured around 1900.
There was no point in manufacturing blades that could not be used in combat to equip weapons intended for decorative purposes, and this is why, on models that are not truly historical, we find blades signed Coulaux à Klingenthal, and duly hallmarked, as on the sword with a scabbard.
This means that these weapons can be used in combat (light combat, of course... not against a two-handed sword), but without any guarantee in case of breakage. As with any antique weapon, it's a gamble!
Both swords have 80 cm blades and bronze guards with filigree tangs.
There is a little play in the guard of the one without a scabbard; the end of the tang needs to be re-mauled.
Good overall condition. Small repair at the bottom of the scabbard.

Very beautiful senior officer's swordknots, attribution unknown, circa 1900

Sword for artistical fencing
Unusual type of sword for artistical fencing.
Handle is particularly elaborate, the cup to protect the hands is of a model never encountered before, in a somewhat Art Deco style.
The blade is indeed a good fencing blade, designed for combat...but old, which means that it can last 10 years or break from the first touches, so we cannot guarantee it.
Two copies on sale.
