France, Third Republic (1870–1940). Late-production (late 19th century) Model 1831 “campagnard” sword, intended for a rural constable or municipal toll collector, without a scabbard. Cast copper-plated brass hilt with sixteen flutes. Crossguard ending in quillons adorned with knobs. Strong, straight blade with a slight mottled gray patina and minor traces of oxidation, featuring a hollow edge and flat back, without a manufacturer’s mark or hallmark. 73.5 cm (blade 60.5 cm). (Signs of wear and normal use; an interesting variant of the “campagnard”-style sword. Fairly good condition.)
