Sold out
NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER SABER OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD SAILORS "MARINS DE LA GARDE" and its sword knot, First Empire (1804-1815).
Saber entirely made of brass with a leather scabbard, the model of which was created in 1804 by the arms manufacturer DUC.
Guard with a hollow branch (H 12.2 cm without quillon), outer ear in the shape of a shield (H 5.5 cm) engraved with an anchor, the guard branch ending in a ball quillon struck with the "DUC" hallmark. The hilt is hollowed underneath. Short-tailed pommel (H 8.9 cm). The wooden handle, unlike sailor sabers, is covered with dark gray shagreen filigreed with a twisted copper wire.
Klingenthal blade with hollow edges, 69.9 cm long, 4.35 cm wide at the base, and 7 cm curved, with approximately 1 cm thickness at the base and a strong point bevel. It is engraved on each side with "GARDE IMPÉRIALE" in large cursive letters in a cordage cartouche, anchor, and palmettos, with a ribbed back.
Scabbard of wood covered in black waxy leather with three brass fittings decorated with lines, a variant identifying a non-commissioned officer: chape, central bracelet, and shoe; brass blade, brass rings. Brass ring studs. Scabbard length 72.5 cm.
SWORD KNOT entirely in orange wool, woven "cul de dé" galloon, 2 cm wide. Tassel with soft fringes called "pit ropes," tassel height with fringes 7 cm.
France.
First Empire (1804-1815).
Very good state of preservation, blade with oxidation typically found on this type of saber, sun-faded sword knot with some wear.
NOTE:
Of all the weapons of the Imperial Guard (except for the Mamelukes), the sailors' saber is one of the rarest to obtain, the specimen presented here is of very good quality and perfectly authentic.
This specimen comes from an old collection; it is one of the two known specimens of non-commissioned officers. The accompanying sword knot corresponds to the color of the unit, but its cord is not woven in the "baton" style as typically done for the Imperial Guard. However, this sword knot has been accompanying the saber since the 1930s.
This specimen was reproduced in Michel Pétard's article in the magazine "Tradition Magazine".
