French sabre
XIX century
Castle Museum in Łańcut
Part of the collection: Broń, instrumenty, varia
A French sabre from 1839 with a curved blade measuring 91.5 cm in length. The inscription Manufre R le de Chatellerault Juin is engraved on the back of the sabre. The hilt of the sabre is brass with a knuckle guard and a small disc crossguard, while the grip itself is covered in black leather and wrapped with brass wire. The scabbard is made of iron, ending in a drag. These types of sabres were, of course, used primarily for slashes, and less often for thrusts. The sabre gained immense popularity in Poland in the 17th century, leading to its reverence as the only weapon worthy of a Polish nobleman. As a weapon, it remained popular until the end of the 19th century and even into the early 20th century.
