French Sabre for I.D.

Iliad · 16th November 2008, 03:29 AM

Hi everyone, I am getting brave, this is my 4th venture onto the site! This time I shall appreciate any info I can get on a French Sabre, purchased from a dealer who said it dated from the 1820's and had been used in North Africa. The edge has nicks which may indicate battle use, or a clumsy owner.
The pics which I shall attempt to attach show:the letters "L G" which may be the initials of an owner; a tiny B in a circle (very hard to photograph!); on the inside of another bar there are "44", a star and what may be an anchor, and another "B".
Thanks to all in anticipation of your assistance.
