On the other hand, here is the scabbard from Gen Francis Hugonin's (4th Dragoons) sword (before restoration) showing a very nice dent which has bent it at rakish angle of about 15 deg. Was this caused by the blow of an enemy sabre? Maybe it deflected a musket ball? No, the answer is that it was stored in an attic for about 25 years and some fool stepped on it!
