Sorry for the mess. I wrote Chateaurenault instead of Chatellerault but that did not seem correct. Of course it should have been Klingenthal.
I have one of those two channeled blades mounted with a XIXth century copy of a XVI th century hispano-flemish hilt. The Couleux inscription was erased but not beyond recognition. I take notice for the long ricassos... never say never... Originally they were for all kind of dress sword shortly after Napoleon III. This one is for medical staff. |

Well elucidated, thank you. I never realized that such operational looking blade was so modern; and at least about a century younger than the guard where it is now mounted.

Thanks much for the cheer up
 .I had a conversation with the person with whom i traded this sword. He has bought is as it is, but he promised to replace the blade with one of his unmounted ones available from an earlier period. |

Here we are; remounted with a period blade. Spanish, German; would anyone have a guess ?
Length 81 cms. Width 27 mm. Thickness 7 mm. Looks like the grip is not bone, but some kind of boar tooth or the like. . |

That blade looks more in harmony with the hilt now. You'd be happy with that result.
