Thanks Peter. I did see that and it is certainly helpful. One of the best writings I have seen on Petits Montmorency is in the monthly periodical Gazette des Armes issues 368,421, 442, and 475. I was able to read them through a free service that lets you read each online. If anyone is interested I’d be glad to provide the link. It’s in French but I translated it.

I have also found the sword’s brother out there that was recently sold in the market but no details on the steel or maker. I am fairly sure it’s not Klingenthaler or Chatellerault as they would be obvious, like the Virginia Provincial blades for Washington.
