- Lot Description
Western Europe, France, Paris, ca. early 19th century CE. A handsome steel, brass, and wood saber with the original leather scabbard parade tassels. This was an infantry officer's weapon and may have been for ceremonial use rather than combat. The saber features a slightly curved blade with a single cutting edge. A large brass knuckle guard and curving quillion swoop outward from the handguard. The brass pommel and guard are both decorated with floral and foliate motifs. The hilt is covered with a wooden grip, and a cord tassel with leather strips further adorns this impressive weapon. The scabbard is made from red leather, and the brass locket of the scabbard is stamped with "MANCEAUX RUE LENOIR ST. HONORR NO. 3 A PARIS." J.F Manceaux was a French armorer established in 1806 and is noted for his fine weapons. He is perhaps best known for producing sabers for graduating students from the Special Military School of Saint Cyr (Ecole speciale militaire de Saint- Cyr). Size: 35" L x 4" W (88.9 cm x 10.2 cm)
