Hi, it's me again...!
  
  I have owned a rather interesting french sword for many years, but all the while, everyone I have asked about it, claims it "doesn't exist". 
  
  And yet,  the blade seems to thinks otherwise, and refuses to dissappear as any civilized figment should. Consequently, I think its real. 
  
  I'm even posting some pictures of my "imagination's figment". If you can see her too, perhaps you can help me ID same?
  
  Data: poincon on ricasso.  Inscribed in spine" Manufacture Real. de Chatetllereault, January 18x6". Can't figure out whether x is 2 or 4.
  
  Obviously, a scythe like mameluke blade of sorts.  But id doesn't even appear on books...
  
  Best
