First sword delivery of 2023 has finally arrived. Not my first purchase this year but the first to reach me.

The top sword is a large and heavy French First Empire era cuirassier officers sabre with the ‘Garde de Bataille’ hilt. The blade is is marked with the Solingen Rose on the spine and retains a small amount of etching. Unfortunately it’s missing its’ scabbard and I will try and get a reproduction one made for it.  The second is a French light cavalry officers sabre with the ‘Cote de Melon’ style hilt. This one is likely from the First Republic era. It has a very stout blade that is proportional to one on a troopers’ sabre. Again the blade was made in Solingen and features the typical talismanic engraving typical of the late 18th Century. 

A comparison of the French light and heavy cavalry swords to their British contemporaries of the era.

French Carabinier or Cuirassier Officers’ sword with ‘Garde de Bataille’ style hilt

The 'Garde de Bataille' or 'Battle Guard' sword hilt is believed to have been inspired by German sword designs of the mid-18th Century. It is around this time that sword hilts which incorporate a clam shell into the guard start to appear on French swords.

It was adopted in 1784 for use by officers of the heavy cavalry (Cuirassiers, Carabiniers). dragoons and Gendarmerie. For a brief period a version with a curved blade was approved for officers of the light cavalry.

With the clam-shell guard, smaller counter guard, knuckle bow with four side branches the Garde de Bataille is a very distinctive hilt and one of my top two favorite sword designs of this era (the British 1803 Pattern being the other).

This sword carries a long, heavy Solingen made blade that closely resembles the blade of the AN XI Sabre of the line (Cuirassiers), including its' hatchet tip. The sword handles like the AN XI, that is to say it is large and cumbersome, suitable for a mounted charge, but not something for a melee brawl. Furthermore there are four piercings in the guard where an emblem such as the flaming bomb would originally have been attached. This would have given us a solid clue as to the officers' branch of service, but alas it is lost.

In time I hope to find a replacement scabbard and emblem for the sword, because it deserves to look as original as possible.

Comparison alongside my other Garde de Bataille showing the difference in size between the two:

Stats: Overall Length -  1,000 mm Blade Length -  945 mm Grip Length -  145 mm Inside Grip Length - 110 mm Weight - 1,050 grams Point of Balance - 160 mm
