Poincons on a Sabre Briquet.

While I don't have much in resources on French swords, I believe that the star over the 'B' is the poincon for P.Bick, revisier and controleur at Versailles (?) from July 1813 to Sept. 1818.
It seems that while Versailles was producing ornate and high end swords for the cuirassiers etc. they were producing hilts for blades being produced at Klingenthal.

This is at least what I can estimate without Lhoste & Buigne, and of course Aries. Your best bet is to reach Jean Binck who is on facebook I think.
