Silver-plated brass hilt. Guard with three branches forming a shell in the shape of a medallion, adorned with the Great Arms of France. The knuckle bow is in the shape of a palmette decorated with a fleur-de-lis, bearing the marking "Versailles" and stamped below with a "B" surmounted by a star, representing the controller P. Bick (December 1813 - September 1818), and the stamp "C" surmounted by a star of the director Châteaubrun. Below the medallion, the guard forms a palmette designed to support the medallion, and the two guard branches surrounding it each end in a fleuron. The pommel has a short tail. The handle is made of wood covered with grey shagreen and filigreed with copper.
The straight blade has a double groove and a point in line with the back. It is stamped at the base with a "B" in an oval surmounted by a star of the inspector E.L BORSON (August 1814 - September 1816), a "B" in a circle surrounded by a laurel wreath corresponding to the 1st class controller J.G. BICK (1812 - May 1815), and an "L" in a circle corresponding to the reviser F.L. LOBSTEIN, reviser (1813 to July 1821). The back of the blade is engraved with "Manufactured by Klingenthal November 1814." Blade length: 95 cm. Scarlet wool tie.
The scabbard is made of leather with three silver-plated fittings, finished with a cushion. The blade fob is made of iron. The chape is engraved with "Given / By the King / to Mr Dauguet / François = / = Pierre."

BIOGRAPHY:
François-Pierre DAUGUET, farmer in the commune of Saint-James, Captain in the Basse Normandie corps of the Royal Army of the West.
HISTORY:
The 1816 reward sabers are, in fact, the former sabers of the Second Company of the Musketeers, model 1814, known as the "Mousquetaires Noirs." In 1816, when the two Musketeer companies were disbanded, it was decided to use the remaining sabers of the Second Company still in stock and transform them into reward sabers. To achieve this, the Musketeers' cross on the hilt was removed, and a silvered copper medallion stamped with the Great Arms of France was riveted on. The chape was engraved with the inscription "Given by the King to Mr...," and the blade, which was originally unmarked (without any engraving), is now engraved with "LIVE THE KING."
This explains why the back of the blade is originally engraved with the name of the manufacturer and dated 1814, the year of the establishment of the Second Company of the Musketeers of the Royal Military Household.
