A rather nice fantasie sabre of a style I have never seen before, this piece is a later variant and is likely precursor to the Model 1896 cavalry officers sword.
The 1896 is already one of the rarest french sabres and this one has an obvious element that makes it unique, the heavily curved and long blade.
This sword was made for an officer who knew what he wanted. This sword is in great condition, there is some loose wire on the hilt and a patch of rust on the scabbard but the guard and sword is almost untouched. As a nice little touch the sword bears the initials of the original owner "GH".
This sword can be yours for 495GBP or best offer!
