The reference work on French edged weapons from Louis XIV to the present day by the specialist in the field. The culmination of many years of research, the result of the erudite confrontation between object and document, here is the long-awaited work, an indispensable tool of knowledge and identification now within reach of all, whether novice or seasoned, enthusiasts of French military edged weapons. This rich catalog inventories, in a comprehensive and commented illustrated sequence, all models of weapons as well as variants and other contemporary fantasies, put into service in the French armies from Louis XIV to the present day. The chronological method favors an accessible use by everyone, with its numerous color plates accompanied by descriptive and historical notes, its synoptic tables organized by specialties, its morphological series, along with sets of punches from manufacturing or private centers, and a very complete glossary of terms of the trade. We also find dissected plates, a complete inventory of scabbards and blades then in use, information completely unprecedented to date.
Finally, photographs provide the reader with visual information, complementing the graphic indication.
Michel Pétard has specially reserved for this edition a multitude of new information, spectacular contributions on saber identifications and corrected datings thanks to numerous archives discovered since the Ariès notebooks. In addition, the author has categorically excluded the numerous fakes and copies that can deceive the reader, unfortunately found in many works. The illustrated plates allow for a simple and rapid identification of a weapon, while having access to the most precise and accurate information available on this subject. A must-have for every enthusiast.
