France.
First Empire.
Good condition, the calf of the handle has shrunk slightly. Blade having retained its colors, slightly oxidized. The scabbard is not the model usually encountered on the saber of this regiment, however, this type of model appears at the end of the reign of Louis XVI, and will be worn until the first years of the Restoration. The wear of the saber explains a slight shortening of the blade and the replacement of the original scabbard.
