Yes, the briquet pictured was very common, but an earlier French form that came out in the late 18th was rarer and had a nice look to it.

The iron hilt is the one we were discussing and still no diffinitive answer. Some classify them as naval, others as possible Brit Life Guards and, of course, the Mountain Artillery swords of the later 19th c.
