French AN XI Model Infantry / Artillery Briquet,
1819 to 1822, Sold |
In good condition, a French AN XI Model Infantry / Artillery Briquet,
markings for 1819 to 1822.
In very good overall condition, the inscription to the spine has
been rubbed out but the poinçons are for Boutet of Versailles
and Jean Joseph Cécile Bureau (inspector from 6th
February 1819 to 1st March 1822 - see here).
The
23 1/8 inch blade is in good condition, as is the sword generally;
all firm. The scabbard is aged but the sword sheathes and draws
well. The number "82" is stamped to the front of the cross
guard.
A good example, not least as it comes with the original scabbard.
Yours for £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference
