This appears to be a French light Cavalry saber à la Mameluke, for a superior officer of the First Empire.
With a blade length of 72 cms. (measured around) and a bow of 83 m/m. Total length 83 cms. (in a straight line) Sword weight 715 grams. The 'dark' steel scabbard weighs 511 grams. All other (visual) details need not to be mentioned, as pictures speak for themselves. Could you guys confirm this identification and are able to discern if the grip is rhino horn ? Thank you. . |
