Images of the French blade as requested. I did not want to try to move the leather washer to clearly reveal the armour and inspection stamps but you can see the detail of them.

Thanks

Gav

French Cavalry sword and Nimcha sold thank you.

I'll put up the Syrian Kindjal and the orange bone handled Kindjal with the early Caucus blade shortly. I am open to offers on the knives above and She who must be obeyed wants to keep the Italian small sword with the mother of pearl handles but I will still entertain a reasonable offer, it is minty.

Thanks
