French Napoleonic NCO Cavalry Saber

This French cavalry saber features a curved, single-edged steel blade with a single fuller, showing age-appropriate grey patina and minor pitting. The brass hilt has a D-guard and a wire-wrapped leather grip. The matching steel scabbard has two suspension rings. Dating to the First French Empire (Napoleonic era), this saber was carried by a cavalry non-commissioned officer (Sous-officier). These rugged swords were designed for heavy combat, serving NCOs during Napoleon's campaigns across Europe. The brass guard and pommel show a warm, untouched patina. The leather grip wrap shows wear consistent with age but remains intact. The steel scabbard fits the blade securely and is free of major dents.
