French Infantry Sabre, Type Briquet
During the Napoleonic era, this French infantry sabre was very popular all over Europe. It is said that, in 1812, the famous French emperor invented the tradition of sabrage, a technique for opening a Champagne bottle with a sabre for celebrating his victory of a battle.
The French word briquet means flintstone, probably a humorously neologism for this sabre.
The sabre features a forged, unsharpened high carbon steel blade. The hilt parts are cast of brass. The delivery includes a matching scabbard with brass fittings.
