Very Nice! Congratulations!

The "D" with a star in laurea stands for Jean Thomas Duboq, Chef de batallion, Director in Klingethal factory drom 22 november 1823 to 27 march of 1830.

The chained "B" stands for controleur Jean Georges Bick. He used this mark from Mai 1815 to August 1824.

The "L" stands for Francois Louis Lobstein. Another controleur from 27. july 1821 to 11. march 1829.



The achor near the 33 is perhaps 33rd Regiment des Marins. But that would be only a guess. It is a quite popular regiment with rich history, still in existence, currently stationed on Martinica!

Judging by the marks that is a Klingenthal sword made in 1823 or 1824. Not an Napoleonic piece, but still very desiderable and researchable piece of history!

Can we see the photo of the back of the sword. There should be an inscription, revealing perhaps a little bit more!
