MAMELUK DAGGER OF THE CONSULAR GUARD, first manufacture, Consulate-First Empire style, 20th-century production. 30125

Mounting in brass composed of an upper part and a lower part: the upper part is attached to the handle by means of two flat head steel screws; the lower part forms a fluted skirt poinçonnée (probably) "V" on the interior. Handle of ribbed wood covered with brown waxed calf leather. Curved double-edged blade with a central groove, blade length 36.5 cm, width at the base 3.2 cm. Scarlet wool knot.
Scabbard entirely in brass, protruding cup mouth. Button for belt passage in the shape of an elongated drop. Brass cap terminating the scabbard, in the shape of a lyre, with a "V" punch for Verified.
Total length of the dagger 53 cm.

France.
20th-century production.
Very good condition, some leather losses on the handle.

NOTE:
This exemplar is a modern full reproduction, although it is accompanied by a certificate of expertise signed by Bernard Bruel, who noted, "the absence of markings seems to indicate that it is a commercial manufacture acquired for personal use by the Mameluke," and a receipt from "Les héros d'autrefois" dated August 15, 2000.
There are no period productions devoid of markings or punches, nor are there commercial manufactures for troop daggers. It is also surprising to consider that a commercial production could receive the "V" verification punch from a manufacturer.
