About this item
Fine sword with a silver hilt, entirely faceted (diamond-cut) and partially openwork.
Guard with a single branch and a small “pas d’âne”.
Triangular blade with some remaining engravings.
Scabbard covered in shagreen, with three silver fittings.
The blade measures 81.5 cm; the sword alone weighs approximately 350 grams, and about 450 grams with its scabbard.
The hallmarks are very difficult to decipher; however, one seems to show a facing old man’s head, corresponding to first-standard silver, stamped during the Consulate period (1799-1804).
Condition: Fairly good condition, small opening in the scabbard over 5 cm, silver hallmarked sword.
