Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice service used French brass mounted Modèle 1777 Sabre de Hussard (M1777 Hussar Saber), dating from the 1st Empire of Napoleon Bonaparte. It has a curved 31 1/2" steel blade, typical for mounted cavalry swords of the time. The hilt features a "stirrup" style guard surrounding a leather wrapped grip, which has unfortunately lost the brass wire wrapping it would usually have. It measures almost 37" overall.
This style of sword was used until around 1822, when models with thinner blades and more ornate guards were put into service. Those in term became the basis for the cavalry sabers used by the United States.
A very nice example of a French Revolutionary / Napoleonic Hussars Saber with a fantastic patina of age. Ready to display!
