Monture à la mousquetaire

Wow, so impressed with all that knowledge! Thank you so much. I just got one of those too

What's the price of this one ?

I have this one in my collection, and it is the best in every possible way: balance, weight, cutting performance.

I have one example of this sword with a matching numbered blade and scabbard. Such a cool sword!

Nice film and sword :) Gretings from Poland... szablotłuk polski

The straight hexagonal blade with the partial twin fullers on the sword with the white grip behind you (is that a custom 1854 pattern British one? I can't quite tell) looks a lot like a blade on a sword that I have that was sold as "19th c colonial Spanish" or "north african", the origins of which are otherwise a mystery to me (the grip on that one is very simple, black horn with silver fittings and no guard, with an asymmetric pommel almost kind of shaped like a smaller Europeanized Nimcha grip). Do you have any information as to the origin of that blade?

супер сабля.пиратская.

what was the joint on the knuckle bow for?

those swords had overly designed hilts because they also functions as status symbols and indications.

Very informative. Thx.

It is more similar to a rapier or side sword than a typical sabre.

The french naval cutlass on this video is from later than napoleonic era, this one is a 1833 pattern, we can reconize it easily with the simple quillon shape, for napoleonic era cutlasses, the quillon looks like a palm leaf (1811 pattern and before)

Designed for rise the white flag while surrendering

Sadly I have no originals but do have reproductions of both swords. The french one is an older repro and has a much thicker base of the blade and some decent taper to the spine. It handles mick better. The British one feels like a baseball bat. The British 1805 repro had a spine that is very thick all the way down. I understand blade taper is an issue on reproductions but am wondering, what the thickness on the *original* 1804 is like? I.e., does it stay thick (as you said, like a crowbar) or is there some thinning down?

Mon ancêtre était un soldat du régiment Carignan salière arriver en nouvelle France en 1665 .je pratique l escrime moderne j en fais même de la compétition.je m appelle patrice j ai 54ans et aimerais avoir une epee dés soldat de Carignan salière à leur arriver en nouvelle France est ce que tu en possède une

Great video. You’ve convince me to look for one for solo training. :)

That's a pretty typical cutlass of the period

Just picked one up like this except it has a lion or dog head

Did the French officers in WW2 have these because I have one but more curved that my grandpa brought back from the war.

Its not a saber its a sword

Please post stats like length, width, weight, etc.

Hello, my 1850 has 'Eisenhower' signed on the lower spine. Any idea what that means?

straight blade sabre are know has " Latte "

Mistral was such a bad wind that French law forgave you if you murdered someone while it was blowing.

Woohoo ! Great to see you back

Very informative video. I really liked the comparasion and analysis just some questions : 1) How long are the two cutlasses? 2) which blade do you prefer the Cutlass blade or the Regulation infantry sword of the day ?

The weight of these swords would not worry sailors as they were much stronger than todays city folk.

The curved cutlass with the guard that protects the side of the hand would be awesome to use in HEMA

OUTSTANDING !!! Bravo ,and I hope you continue following this concept as I believe it will be both quite informative and entertaining .. That chair screams ( I need a globe of the earth and a BRANDY close by ) Coffee will suffice 😊

Cool video thanks 😉💪👍👍

Which would make the sword you received all the more Scarce ? Correct ?

Lovely

Hi Sir I have 1850 US sword this is sign how much a value old reply me

What's fascinating is that it has a smallsword type hilt but weren't smallswords just being developed in the late 1600s? Interesting and forward thinking of the French to adopt the new type hilt!

really got stuck on the thumb ring..was hoping to learn more about the construction and a closeup of the grip and who made them and who used them,didn't get a good look at it

Nice video ,applause :) if anyone would like to hear about the history polish saber, I invite you to my channel - szablotłuk polski

These swords did also come in curved varieties, correct?

Hi Max I wasn't aware you were on youtube. The ivory gripped sword on your wall is a good one.

Beside the point, how would one go about having one restored?

They not only used shark but also manta ray skin as well. The grip on my original is without a doubt ray skin.

Je t'ai trouvé grâce à la dernièere vidéo de Matt Easton :) Ca se pourrait que je t'achète quelque chose éventuellement.

Hurrah!

1:06 French and Spanish (as it took from the French) Although some times in Spain they refer to straight sabres as "espada-sables" (sword-sabres) which is a therm I personally find repulsive.

Always great to hear from you and your take on the context of swords. I think you should link Matt's comparison video so that future viewers will know what you're talking about, or at least rename your title to be a "Response to Scholagladiatoria". I'd like to hear more about later 19th century French cavalry swords.
