Description
Rare lighter from the Consuls’ collection, with a brass guard: a single, straight-crossed branch, a curved quillon ending in a flat knob, hallmarked on the top of the bar: ‘BOUTET’ and two rectangular hallmarks: ?L D? and ?A B?; oval cap short tang, leather-covered tang, filigree-worked, ending in a brass ring guard; blade veryslightly curved, Montmorency-type blade, length 67.8 cm; leather scabbard, two brass fittings; total length 82.5 cm. (The leather is period, but the fittings have been replaced). Consulate period. Good condition. The original pommels were covered in compressed leather, with a chequered pattern imitating wood, but this very fragile material has not stood the test of time; many bayonets have been modified and fitted with leather, with filigree detailing, probably at the start of the Empire.
