    Very Nice WWI presentation piece! The old Frenchmen definitely knew how to make some amazing sabres! Nice find!(But I'd still take the German sword you found earlier! lol)

    I have been visiting the big war battlefields for years, and a commanders presantation sword belonging to that period is a real treat!

    First, my congratulations to Ivan on this truly exceptional-beautiful example of sword craftsmanship. It’s finds like this that I hope makes us look even harder for whatever that is out there in the areas we are interested in. As for more information on it: My very limited knowledge of French suggests that the dedication could be for an Artillery Officer in the 1914-16 time frame. With I believe circa 1904 Artillery Officers permitted to wear (with a slight modification) the 1822 style Cavalry sword known as the Mle. 1822-99.

    As for the picture Ger posted I don’t know the source, with both the Officer’s and Light versions looking OK. But I do have a question about the “Line” example. Which to me seems to possibly have a Heavy Cavalry style hilt mated to a curved blade. Having seen this style hilt officially (period) mated to some different earlier recycled sword blades - but not “in hand” needing some more information. Best Regards, Fred

    Thank you guys
    Yes,I'm really pleased with this sword, the condition is unbelievable.
    I also think that the blade was made in Solingen.
    The problem is,that I can't find any similar sword online, to compare.

    A great looking sword. I don't know anything about French swords but a bought a collection about 5 years ago that included a bunch of miniature swords. Four of them look similar to yours, Just not as fancy,
