Sword of Davout, Marshal of France

Iliad · 7th August 2009, 01:02 AM

Hi guys, I have been reading a book about the Napoleonic wars, and it contained a pic of Davout with his sword. I am curious as to what sword a Marshal of France might carry. Can anyone I D the sword ? I hope that there is sufficient detail. Also a pic of the dustjacket, this type of action must have been terrifying for the participants, unless the excitement blotted out the fear.
Regards to all,
Brian
