Dutch or Belgium infantry briquet. The L could mark it as being manufactured on Liege in Belgium.
With the last two links, treat the prices with a good amount of caution as a valuation benchmark. This vendor can often be 'optimistic'.

Thank you so much i think is a Dutch infantry sabre No.2 the scabbard is the same, so the model of this sword is M-1819 and the stamp in the blade "1839" is possible the year of manufacture?. The "L" could be Liege I gonna investigate more about it All information is welcome, thanks a lot |

If you have facebook, post your sword into the International Antique Sword Collectors group. Two of the regulars there, Tony Papa and Jannes Lohmeijer are bound to have more information on your sword. |

Hey mickyk I somehow found this post by chance during a regular google search of my name  . But to answer your question. It is indeed a Dutch model 1819 infantry NCO sword, but, this particular example is Belgian. The GP stamp on the guard means "Gouvernement Provisoire" and indicates Belgian use. It will have been made in Liege Belgium. The 1835 date is the date of manufacturing. The L stamp is a manufacturers stamp. The numbers under N responds to the unit (N) and sword number. In this case it could be either 2nd regiment of Chasseurs à pied (1836-1873) or 14th Regiment of Line Infantry (1874 onwards) www.swordsdb.com/SwordsDB_Belgian_Swords_Marks.phpKind regards, Jannes |
