| 61 In der Restauration trugen Tambourmajore dieses spezielle Säbelmodell. Es verschwand mit dem Ende des Zweiten Kaiserreiches. Der Pariser Schwertfeger Manceaux stellte dieses Muster 1822 - 1870 her. Das Bourbonen­ wappen auf der Parierstange ermöglicht die zeitliche Einordnung. Nach 1830 wurden die Lilien durch den Hahn und 1852 durch den kaiserlichen Adler ersetzt. Säbel dieses Modells, die unverändert erhalten blieben, sind sehr selten.

During the Restoration period, drum majors used to wear this particular sabre model. It dis- appeared at the end of the Second Empire. The Paris swordsmith Manceaux produced this model 1822 – 1870. The Bourbon coat of arms on the quillons helps to place the object in the correct period. After 1830, the fleur-de-lys was replaced by the cock and in 1852 by the imperi- al eagle. Sabres of this model that have been preserved in pristine condition are very rare. 271833 II € 5.200 4055
