Hello to everybody! Here I am a new person. I hope to receive your opinions. I'm not sure about the authenticity of this blade. No any stamps of inspection. Share your opinion, please. Thank you. |

In b4 Dave Kelly  Now I'm not sure if it's real, but it looks like a very rare Royal piece (as evidenced by the fleur-de-lys motif etc.) and IF authentic should be worth more than a little $$$. |

i'm trying to read what's written on the blade but i have a hard time reading it because of the cursive writtings...
the only thing i'm able to read is the word ''royale'' on the first picture (the second word)...

Coulaux e Freres & Manuf. - Re Royale de Klingenthal
My opinion - this is an unusual place for the French manufacturers. It wrote the German manufacturers.

PM sent.
The saber is an Officer of Cuirassier 1st Regt saber of the Bourbon Period 1815-1824.
It's pretty rare. The Couleaux marking is correct, although whether or not there should be other makrs I'm uncertain.
PM'd the author with some suggestions for an appraisal.
Wish I could snap this up, but I'm pretty certain this is fairly rare and worth some money.
Do you have the scabbard, by the way. Some better shots in photobucket.com would be nice.
Thanks for sharing this: I for one won't be able to go to bed tonite. :shock: :lol:
