Description:
A French 1816 pattern Light Cavalry Sword 1816 infantry sword. This sword may well have seen service with the 1st Empire and Emperor Napoleon, however it now has the Model 1816 pattern brass hilt assembly. Many Napoleonic era swords were given new hilts after the final defeat at Waterloo as the French were turning to face a new era. This sword comes complete with the original leather grip covering but only traces of the brass grip binding wire remains. It has the Cuirassier four-branch guard and the 1822 raised cap brass pommel. Good, clean condition, minor pitting on blade. Scabbard in excellent condition. Provenance: Peter Nathan Militaria
