Napoleonic Mameluke Saber

This Napoleonic Mameluke sword has an unsharpened blade of tempered high carbon steel. The spine is etched with the signature of Klingenthal, the state-run sword manufactory of Napoleonic France - they would have manufactured these Mameluke saber blades to specially outfit Napoleon?s most colorfully exotic troops. Many French Officer's also carried Mameluke sabers, as all things Egyptian were in vogue after Napoleon's Egyptian adventure. The guard is made of brass and the grip is of wood sandwiched between the tang and brass mid-section. Brass pins hold the tang in place. The wood-core scabbard is tightly covered in black leather with overlaid brass accents and brass hanging rings.
