Product description

This short saber is based on Napoleonic originals that were introduced as early as 1767. Prior to the French Revolution, as a replacement for heavier and cumbersome swords such as the fusilier ēpēe. It was immediately criticized for its modest size and was nicknamed "Briquet" ("fire lighter"), which later became official in 1806. This saber has a blade made of 1074 carbon steel with a hardness of 50 HRC. Excelling as a weapon for close combat, the slightly upward blade could be used to make cutting movements. However, its length and thickness also made it ideally suited as a stabbing weapon. Napoleon's infantry units, artillery, grenadiers, non-commissioned officers and corporals toured large parts of Europe with this shining cohort. This saber was not exclusively involved in gruesome work; it also served as a field tool. And after a win it was perfect for opening champagne bottles! This briquet saber is supplied with a leather sheath. The scabbard has a brass point and top.
