Here's a little beauty I picked up two years ago right out of the woodwork!

Model 1771 Glaive de l'Artillerie.

Gladius form blade, double edged, cast and chased brass hilt. Two poinçons at the forte. I tried to get some close-ups of these.

Since the reference works I have on French swords is of a very general nature, any info on the marks would be appreciated!

This type has been on my wish list for a long time simply because of its unique form and beauty.

Enjoy!
