French marine brass-hilted briquet hanger sword, 1767. 780 grams, 32" long, 26-3/4" blade. Used by French marines and soldiers in the American Revolution and revolutionary France until 1803 when a new pattern was adopted, this example is a simple brass D-guard hilt with horizontal, ropelike turnings attached to a doubled-bladed sword with very faint engravings and blood groove on blade, some pitting and rusting but otherwise in good condition. With photo-certificate.
