Original Item: Only One Available. This is really a lovely little early 19th century small sword with delicate three sided blade 31-inches in length and nicely marked near the hilt with scroll script, some now quite worn, however the word PARIS is clearly evident together with much else.
The hilt is constructed of a wood grip with any leather or fabric covering long gone. The mounts are all brass from the ball pommel, the single knuckle bar to the shell guard one side of which folds against the scabbard to facilitate wearing on the left hip. The outer portion of the shell guard bears a large brass French Napoleonic French Eagle. There are some maker markings apparent on the under side of the brass shell guard. Standing approximately 37-inches in total length this sword dates from a time of true greatness for France.
