EL6184 - A Chilean M1890 cavalry trooper's sword, made on contract by the French arms factory at Châtellerault. All solid and complete, in good condition, these date to the 1890s and are an interesting combination of design features, with excellently designed multi-bar bowl guard in steel, composition grip with trigger finger groove and slightly curved cut and thrust sabre blade. They often suffer from loose grips, but this example is all tight. The maker's attribution is clearly engraved on the spine of the blade, the approval stamps on the scabbard, the Chilean acceptance shield on the ricasso and the regimental numbers on the pommel cap.
