Hello Gavin,

Your welcome, I only learned the fine subtleties after making mistakes.
All the type of sabres of Maison du Roi are of extreme high and fine quality, the casting is sharp and withouth faults and the old manner of fire gilding is of the best quality and looks totaly different from electrolytic gilding. Here is another one from the first restauration period from the Garde Du Corps Du Roi, I think the difference of the details are speaking for themselves
80 % of the fakes have electrolytic gilding.
I believe that the sabre of the thread is for sale on , armae... It has the same abrupt starting fullers, the same collor of blade, and dito broad lelies at the base of the cross of course here the casting faults are largely covered with electrolytic gilding
