What may be the ultimate disposition of France towards Mr La Fayette it is impossible now to say. His integrity as far as I can find remains unimpeached, & when that is the case the errors of the head are pardoned, as the passions subside. It is more than probable I may be able to serve him with those by whom he is confined, & that I may do this without injury to the U. States here (...)

But, Reader, why must there always be love stories? I've already written you one, two, three, four love stories and you're due another three or four and that's a lot of love stories. Still, on the other hand, since I'm writing this for you, I must either proceed with your approval or give you what you want. And that fact is that you have a decided taste for love stories. Nearly all your poems, elegies, eclogues, idylls, lyrical ballads, epistles, comedies, tragedies and operas are love stories. Nearly all your paintings and statues are basically love stories. All you've ever wanted since the day you were born was to gobble up love stories and you never get tired of them. You've been fed a diet of them and you'll be kept on it for a long time yet - men and women, old and young - and you'll never ever get sick of it. It really is astounding! I wish the story of the Marquis des Arcis was another love story, but I'm afraid it isn't and you'll get bored with it. It's bad news for the Marquis des Arcis, for Jacques's Master, for you, Reader, and for me.

Denis Diderot, Jacques the Fatalist (trans. David Coward)

British Officer’s Sword c.1800

This sword is very similar to the Pattern 1796 Heavy Cavalry Officer’s Dress Sword, and it could actually be one. However, I think it might be an infantry officer’s sword, and may pre-date the 1796 regulations. The main departure from most 1796 HC Dress Swords is the manner in which the knucklebow attaches to the pommel. The 1796 HCD’s knucklebow attached with a screw, whereas my example slots into a jolt in the pommel. Additionally, the boat shell guard is asymmetrical.

The blade is of diamond cross-section and has some weight to it--not a light small-sword blade--and is probably a bit better at thrusting than the standard P1796 Infantry Officer’s Sword blade.

It is far from being in top condition, but its unique features have made it an interesting sword to study and own.

Measurements

Weight: 1 lb. 9 1/2 oz.; Blade Length: 31 1/2″; Overall Length: 38 1/4″; PoB: ~3 1/4″

I got a assignment to make a advertisement of an invention in the 1700s. So I did what any rational person would do and altered it to my hyper fixation. So now a re AU were Chris is fighting in the American revolution lives rent free in my head.
