Thanks Corrado. Am I correct in thinking it was made 1856-1870, after they took over the factory and before the Germans took the town? I'm basing that on the "Manu de Klingenthal Coulaux er Cie" inscription.

yes, you are right. Your sabre has been made by Coulaux at Klingenthal before the Franco/German War of 1870/71.
