Original French Napoleonic Era Hussars Cavalry Officer's Saber with Scarce Leather & Brass Scabbard
-
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a very hard to find French brass mounted Hussars Cavalry Saber, dating from the 1st Empire of Napoleon Bonaparte. It has a curved 31½” steel blade with a leather wire-wrapped grip & brass mounted leather scabbard. This example is unmarked, as most during this period were.
The sword is contained in its original brass mounted black leather scabbard with three brass fittings, and the two suspension rings are still fully retained, with some string tied between the two that we have left in place. The middle piece is loose but still displays well.
This style of sword was used until around 1822, when models with thinner blades and more ornate guards were put into service. Those in term became the basis for the cavalry sabers used by the United States.
A very nice example of a French Revolutionary / Napoleonic Hussars Saber with a fantastic patina of age. Ready to display!
