VGC = Very Good Condition.
The forte is etched with the Solingen maker’s initials “S & K” for Schnitzer / Schnitzler and Kirschbaum.
The well / partially blue and gilt etched 27 1/2 inch blade is in good condition and firm in the hilt. The brass hilt / guard has some gilt remaining and is generally good, though the outer bar of the guard may be a little inward (hard to tell). The ribbed leather grip is a little worn but good, as are the twisted grip wire bindings. The leather with brass fittings scabbard has a taped break (not full break) but is otherwise aged good. The sword sheathes and draws well.
A really good early 19th Century French infantry officer’s sword and just was £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference AI76. Further / full sized images available upon request. Box 2136 91 x 13 x 13 (1.277).
