Uncommon French 1804 Naval Briquet

Another little gem from my collection - This is a French Model 1804 Naval Cutlass (Sabre de Marine Briquet ANXI) with naval stamp, inspectors and hilt poincons. Hilt is marked with the anchors on either side, inspectors marks and the rack number. Blade is clean, with much of its original polish. The top portion of the scabbard survives with the top scabbard mount (not pictured). The Model 1804 was primarily manufactured for French ground troops and very few were issued to the French Navy. A nice and very uncommon French naval sword.
