Hi Fernando:

The five-pointed star was a common military emblem of the First Republic. Whether weapons bearing this emblem are from that brief period, or were made later and are commemorative of that period, is hard to say without some provenance. That said, your example is remarkably similar to the dated one and could have been made by the same person--even the leather tooling is identical.

Ian.
