Copy of the sabre of general Lasalle, kept at the Musée des Invalides and which appears in the painting representing Lasalle during the Battle of Stettin.
We reproduced the real sabre, as you can see it in collections of french national army museum, not its representation on painting, more curved.
This saber has a very finely patterned damascus blade. To reproduce them we used wootz, which is a metal whose mines have been exhausted for 3 centuries.
By melting old cannonballs, we were able to produce some exceptional blades which have the appearance of the saber of this prestigious general, symbol of light cavalry, in all its excesses.
It is an oriental model, like those of the Mameluks, very popular with officers of the Empire who were able to appreciate the qualities of such swords in Egypt.
Note the types of engraved designs, very unusual on blades from this period.
Lasalle didn't do much like everyone else. He was the first to wear breeches whose legs ended in fake boots.
Model which would become the regulatory model for many riders, a few decades later
