(1830 FRENCH MILITIA SWORD)
A fine 1830's French militia sword with leather scabbard, measuring 34 1/2" from the pommel to the tip of the blade. No maker's marks are present, but the blade is heavily etched with a floral design. Major rust spots and some nicks affect the blade. The pommel and guard are brass with traces of gold plating remaining and the sharkskin grip is complete as is the wire wrap. The leather scabbard has gold plated brass furniture with a majority of the plating present and there are two breaks of the leather that leave the scabbard in three sections, but complete. Overall very good.
