Circa 1802-1805, a guaranteed authentic An XII French staff officer’s saber (sabre d’officier d’etat-major). Likely a British bring back war trophy from the Peninsular War.
The 33 inch blade has feint traces of its original blue and gilt etching but although aged and worn with some light age pitting is in good condition and firm in the hilt. The brass gilted hilt / guard has age and wear, but is still good. The chequered ebonized grip is worn but also good. The steel with brass fittings scabbard, again, aged / worn but good. The sword sheathes and draws well.
A gorgeous early 19th Century French senior / staff officeer’s saber, just was £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference ZY89. Further / full sized images available upon request. Box 1954 107 x 15 x 16 (1.90).
