Only Nicolas-Noël Boutet was called upon to forget these reward weapons.
Large Kligenthal blade of 90 centimeters, hollow pan, flat back, bevel and tip in the extension of the back. These blades, as Mr. Ariés says very well, are reminiscent of the hunting blades on horseback in the custody of the consuls who are still to be born in Pluviose Year VI.
We only know a few copies around the world of this board reward sword!
