Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Fencing foil 19th century forge identification needed

When I fenced all the foils (and Sabres and Epees) were By the French maker Leon Paul, with an occasional Wilkinson. And they were some of them early 20thC

I've seen these figure 8 types and they do seem to be right back to the first half 19thC which is nice.

Can you post some pics of yours?
Does it have the exact same stamps on the blade?
