Description

Beautiful Brigadier General's sword from the Third Republic. The blade is marked at the ricasso level on one side "Coulaux et Cie Klingenthal". Gilded bronze mount, folding secondary plate, main plate decorated with falling flags under a civic wreath of oak leaves and laurels, two gold stars attached to the outer lip of the plate attribute this sword to a brigadier general . Truncated-conical pommel with relief decoration of a cornucopia, the top of the pommel offers a relief decoration of a heliotrope flower surrounding the riveting of the tang. Black horn fuse, double filigree, two floral patterned ferrules finishing the two ends of the fuse. Strap in golden trimmings, also bears two stars. Leather scabbard with two brass fittings, button cap with antique helmet decoration.
In addition to the certain historical interest, this sword has the advantage of being in a good general state of conservation, with traces of use. I would like to point out that there is no gilding on the scabbard buttons and the strap is missing. Total length 94.5 cm, blade 74 cm.
- Brigadier General is the rank of brigade commander in countries where the general officer rank designation of the French revolutionary system is used. A brigadier general, if assigned to a “field” mission, usually commands a brigade, a unit made up of several regiments.
