image N57 2 Chatellerault May 1832

The very impressive 38 1/4 inch slightly curved period sharpened blade is in good condition and firm in the hilt. The hilt and grip all good (slight scuff to one bit of grip leather, top most twisted grip wire twist missing). Browned steel scabbard in good shape. The sword sheathes and draws well.

A superb example of a scarce sabre. Please quote item reference N57 (1316). Further / full sized images available upon request.
