France, Revolution–Directoire (1789–1799). Elite company sabre, variant with an eagle-head pommel. Cast copper-plated brass mount with nineteen flutes, featuring a half-figured upper lug at its base (Model 1887), and an eagle-head pommel with a prominent rivet button. Guard widened at the top, with the tang secured beneath the eagle’s beak and joining the crossguard at a right angle. Straight quillon ending in a flat pommel. The blade is white, stained in places with small traces of oxidation here and there; it is slightly curved, with a hollow edge and a flat back. No visible cutler’s mark or hallmark on the mount or the blade. Black leather scabbard with a central dorsal seam and two fittings: a brass ferrule with a button and a steel plate tip. 72.5 cm (Blade 59.5 cm).
