Default French(?) cuirassier sword
Hi! I have question about sword I found on the gun show. The hilt looks like french M1854, blade looks like An XI. Blade is unshortened and unmodified. The very strange thing - absolutely no proof marks on blade or hilt! First I thought it is replica or fake, but I showed sword to few very experienced collectors and they say it is real one. I saw a few M1854 with older blades, but they all have at least two proof marks on the blade and few more on the hilt...
