France, First Empire (1804–1814). Infantry sabre known as a ‘briquet’, model AN XI, from the Imperial Manufactory at Klingenthal, October 1813 (?). Bronze mount with 28 flutes. Single-bar guard, stamped with a cursive “B” in an oval for Joseph BISCH, 2nd class inspector from 1809 to 1824, "B" in a circle between sprigs of foliage for 1st class controller Jean-George BICK, corresponding to the period early 1812–1815, then "K" beneath a star for Battalion Commander Joseph KRANTZ Inspector, corresponding to the period 1812–1813, and “19” in a rectangle (19th model produced?). Flat, slightly curved blade, with a flat back, featuring a small, mottled grey patina, and a partially legible marking on the back: “Manufacture Impériale du Klingenthal Octobre 18..

It is hallmarked on the heel with "L" in a circle for François Louis LOBSTEIN, inspector from 1804 to 1821, "B" in a circle between foliage branches for First Class Controller Jean-George BICK, corresponding to the period early 1812–1815, then “K” beneath a star for Battalion Commander Joseph KRANTZ, inspector, corresponding to the period 1812–1813. Black leather scabbard with two brass fittings, bearing no visible marks or hallmarks; the pommel features a trigger guard. 73 cm (blade 59 cm). (Signs of wear and tear, minor knocks to the mountings, the scabbard is slightly short; in fairly good condition).
