Yes, after my opinion the sword is certainly made during the revolution, and as I wrote in my first post there are absolutely no signs that there have been iron guards before which had been tacked off later. But as I learnt by the answers here I now think it has been made outside the needs of the Ecole de Mars for an until now unknown purpose.
