That’s some beautiful bluing on that blade. Pretty wild considering it’s over 200 years old

Good Evening Gents, here is one of my latest a saber by the famous manufacturer J Spol from Metz, these are rare and are thought to be some of the best quality blades the French ever made. Its hard to date because of how common this style was but he was only around till 1820, the blade has been service sharpened to include around 6 inches of the back edge. Feels fantastic in the hand and its in great condition. Wowzer!!! What a stunner. Congratulations Calien! Ken

Calien you sure do know how to pick them. What a beauty! If you keep on going this way, you'll have the best collection of grade V++ high grade sabres around. Would you mind giving us some numbers? Cheers.

Cheers. Hi Uhlan I still dont have a weight, but the blade is 85cm long and 100cm with the hilt... I would put this on the light end of a XI at least half the weight of a trooper. Ill have more info this weekend and here is a picture of most of my collection at least the early 1800s.

I have no words that would fairly describe that collection. WOW!
If you will PM me your address I’ll gladly watch over them at night while you sleep and at no charge. 😈
