Default It is French for France

Hi Fernando,

It is a French pattern for France.

Chistian Aries shows these swords in Volume one.
I have not translated the text but the specific subject heading is;

Sabre de la premiere compagnie des mousquetaires
premiere restauration troupe & officer.

Or in English

Sword of the first company of musketeers
first officer & restoration company.

This may also help.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musketeers_of_the_Guard

This is also a great help in understanding the swords;
