Description
Historical context:
The Model 1882 infantry officer's saber is a French saber, adopted in 1882 by the Artillery Service for senior and junior infantry officers.
The inspiration for the Model 1882 comes from the fancy infantry saber of the African army. This model establishes the system for attaching the scabbard with a single ring, which has become a standard: it is the first saber model that has only one original ring.
The original saber is quite simple, which leads many officers to have "fancy" models made, retaining the regulation blade but modifying the hilt (number of branches, various metals...).
This model had its heyday during the 1914-18 war. It was worn by officers in dress uniform until August 13, 1925, the date of its repeal. It now equips the cadet officers of the École nationale supérieure des officiers de sapeurs-pompiers.
Unlike the 1845 model for junior infantry officers, which has a corresponding model for senior officers, the 1882 infantry officer saber is regulated for all officers, both junior and senior. One can even find regulation 1882 models sporting the stars of a general on the tip of the knuckle guard.
DIMENSIONS:
Total length: 98.8 cm
Length without the scabbard: 97.1 cm
Blade length: 82.2 cm
Grip length: 14.9 cm
Blade width: 2.15 cm
Description:
Very beautiful infantry officer saber, blade close to new, engraved: "MEYER" + Officer's monogram "F T", with a central fuller, fits perfectly in its scabbard. The grip is made of white metal and wood with its filigree, scabbard in its original condition with its original leather belt and superb brown leather knot! Rare private variant with three branches. Piece recovered in Belgium from a private individual, in its original condition for any knowledgeable collector, passionate about WW1, from my own collection. Very pleasant to hold and even more to observe in a display case! Very, very rare also complete.
LOT: SABER + SCABBARD + LEATHER BELT + KNOT
This superb piece will beautifully decorate your display case or complete your collection of weapons dedicated to WW1 and the courageous French army. It is a magnificent witness to the Châtellerault manufacture as well as the craftsmanship of its makers. Magnificent and rare piece, do not hesitate!
