Beautiful Third Republic Brigadier General's sword.
- This is a special request from the Toledo factory. Blade worked and chased, marked "Fabrica Tolédo 1874". Gilt-bronze mounting, folding secondary plate, main plate decorated with falling flags beneath a civic wreath of oak leaves and laurels, two silver stars on the outer lip of the plate attribute this sword to a brigadier general. Truncated cone-shaped pommel with relief decoration of a cornucopia, the top of the pommel features relief decoration of a heliotrope flower surrounding the silk riveting. Tortoiseshell butt with filigree. Chrome-plated metal scabbard.
In addition to its historical interest, this sword has the advantage of being in good overall condition, with traces of use. I note traces of gilding missing and oxidation on the metal scabbard. Overall length 95.5 cm, blade 78.3 cm.
- Général de brigade is the rank of brigade commander in countries where the rank designation of general officer in the French revolutionary system is used. A brigadier general, if assigned to a "field" mission, usually commands a brigade, a unit made up of several regiments.
