French Model 1887 Line Officer's Sword with Grenadier/Artillery Badge (Ordnance Bomb or Grenade) on the outer guard clamshell. Very nice scarce sword with Grenadier affiliation. Manufactured at the Chatellerault Arsenal in 1907.
Hilt is very similar to the US Model 1840 NCO sword. Clamshell guard with the inner clamshell laying flat and the outer slightly extended. On this clamshell is displayed the brass "grenade"; hilt appears to be silver plated.
Blade is three-edged T-shaped, much like the Modele 1874 Gras Epee bayonet. Blade inscription states the arsenal, manufacture month and year, as well as the sword regulation pattern (see images). Overall length in scabbard is ~39-1/8"; overall length out of scabbard is ~38-1/2"; blade length is ~32"; scabbard length is ~32-1/2".
Condition is about very good to excellent with only minor flaws.
