France, late 18th century—Revolution–Directoire (1789–1799). French Guards-style grenadier saber, without scabbard. Cast brass hilt of the 1767-model Infantry Grenadier type with 18 strands; the guard branch meets the crossguard at a right angle and features two upper half-earlocks. Blade, originally reattached, with a light gray patina stained in places; slightly curved with a hollow edge and flat back, and small grooves near the back. The heel is stamped “MR” surrounded by a frieze of dots. 80.5 cm (blade 67.5 cm). (Signs of wear and minor usage marks; a small crack near the rivet head on the hilt. Fairly good condition). Note: The blade length corresponds to the blade lengths of the sabers used by the grenadiers of the French Guards.
