Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a nice example of a genuine 19th Century French Model 1822 Light Cavalry Saber, made by Francois Backes Delacour. This is the sword that the U.S. based their Model 1840 Cavalry saber on, which was later updated in 1860 to use a lighter blade. In fact many M1822 were imported for use in the U.S. Civil War.
The model 1822 itself was a replacement for the short lived model 1816, which used a "piped back" blade, which was not well received by the French Cavalry. It features a 36" curved blade with both a wide and narrow fuller, and has an overall length of 42 1/2".
This Model 1822 Light Cavalry Saber is marked on the Picasso with the maker mark for Francois Backes Delacour.
Condition is good, with expected signs of age and wear. A nice example of this sword, ready to add to your collection!
Approximate Dimensions:
Overall Length in Scabbard: 43.5″
Sword Length: 42.5″
Blade Length: 36.5″
