Saber of the
senior officer of mounted grenadiers of the Consular Guard (1799 - 1804).
According to the expert of the French auction Thierry de Maigret (Paris), Mr Croissy, this is a so-called "combat sabre". The expert refers to the fact that the regular sabres of this type were quite heavy and officers ordered lighter sabres for combat, one of which is presented here.
