"Sabre-lighter From The Directoire, Consulate Or First Empire Period"
Sabre-briquet from the Directoire, Consulate or First Empire period I have not been able to formally identify this sabre. In my opinion it is to be compared either to the model and their variants of the sabre-briquet of the grenadiers of the Guard of the Directoire and the Guard of the Consuls or to those of the Imperial Guard. Blade with hollow sides without marking. The scabbard chape does not hold. The leather of the scabbard is dry and unstitched. Total length 82cm Length without scabbard 75.5cm Blade width 62.5mm Weight 862gr Weight without scabbard 665gr
