Enchanté

Regency. 23. Windmill-punching my way through postbacc, grad school, and life. Name for the pleasure of having you on my blog and my Orphan Black OTP: Science Girlfriends (Cosima/Delphine). Here you shall find a love of all things involving badass women, fictional and otherwise. I also love SciFi in movies and on TV. Stargate, Star Trek, Sanctuary, X-Files, Doctor Who, Sherlock, The Avengers, Orphan Black, and more. I love all sorts of things. I'm a geek for languages, select literature, politics, military affairs, and fandom. On a good day, I'm obsessed with algebraic equations and rudimentary physics. I like to write fanfiction and original fiction. I also kickbox and read like it's going out of style. Hi!

French Imperial Guard Officer Scout Sword

According to the french expert Christian Ariés, this sword is attributed to the Imperial Guard’s scouts, the  Éclaireurs of the Guard, created in 1813 after the return of the Naopleon Russian campaign. The  Éclaireurs of the Guard were the Corps of cavalry scouts of the French Imperial Guard created by Napoleon when he reorganised the Imperial Guard, following the 1812 campaign in Russia. 

The Corps was created in Article I of the decree of 4 December 1813. The 1st regiment was divided into the Old Guard and Young Guard squadrons, with the first two wearing uniforms of the hussars, also sometimes known as Hussards Éclaireurs, and the others wearing a coatee similar to the Chasseurs a Cheval.

Although half of the Éclaireurs were armed with 2.75m long lances issued in 1812 to the line regiments, and the rest with carbines, the regiments were rarely employed as lancers in battle. This sword has a 79 cm blade for a weight of 0.62 kg without scabbard. It ‘s a very light weapon, well balanced and effective. Brass scabbard with a lovely shape steel tip.
