An officer's sword dating: early 18th Century provenance: France, Straight, double-edged blade of hexagonal section, richly engraved at the forte and with remains of gilding. On the right side: an "Alemannic" cross, architectural and floral elements, a canopy framing the sun surmounted by lily, a lion (scared? apparently depicted with its tail between its legs), and finally a motto toward the base. The left side similarly decorated. Pitting and signs of use. Brass hilt, decorated in relief and partially pierced; could be a cast piece, but of good quality. Two valves featuring a scene of a mounted officer over a trophy of cannons and lances. The grip decorated en suite, with the officer on a rearing horse, over lances and flags. The guard with a trophy of arms and scrolls. The pommel also featuring the mounted officer. The scabbard with leather, probably restored; smooth cap, with patina matching the sword; the chape was probably restored. Signs of use and time. An interesting and rare typology.
