NOTE:
In his book "The History of Hussar Sabers from Louis XIV to the Present Day," published by Éditions du Canonnier in 2010, Michel Pétard writes, "The republican version of the 1777 saber is distinguished from its direct ancestor by its iron-mounted scabbard. No significant archives allow us to know its origins, but the examination of the markings on many specimens demonstrates production spanning from around 1792 to 1798, primarily from Klingenthal. Simultaneously, private industry productions were also very present, sometimes using blades forged at Klingenthal. Of course, the large fleur-de-lis engraved on the blade under the monarchy until 1792 was replaced by the monogram "Repe Franse" engraved on either side of the blade. The back always bears "KLINGENTHAL" engraved in bold capital letters. Saber figure 33: Klingenthal stamps between 1793 and 1798. Saber figure 34: Klingenthal stamps between 1798 and 1802."
