French Heavy Cavalry Sword pre 1822 HELP !
- Thread starter Gspragge
- Start date
Sword guys are just like us ! It's all in the markings -
So what I have is a French 1813 Heavy Cavalry Sword. It was either an older blade re-hilted (repairs were normal) in 1813 or
new made in 1813, either way between July and December 1813 ~
So it's a good Napoleonic piece. It's bloody big and heavy, I can hardy lift it, let alone take a swing ! - Now I know why I joined the Artillery ~
