Leather-wrapped wood grip; steel faceted pommel, deep dish aluminum guard with "#1" scratched into the inner bowl face; green felt liner.
Blade is straight, triangular in cross-section with deep face fuller and shallow side fullers; sharp tip. Blade length is ~34-3/8". Overall length is ~42-3/4"

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.

European Infantry Hanger (or short saber), believed German or other Baltic country, dating circa 1720-1760. Many countries used similar curved short swords, including Britain (Pattern 1742), Russia (Pattern 1756), Germany, Denmark (Pattern 1838), etc. The main feature that helps date this one it the screw-attachment method at the pommel-end of the D-guard; this helps date this form early to mid 1700s, but perhaps as late as 1780s as far as issue. Another feature is the tight grip spiral; this is usually Germanic in origin. Overall length is ~30".
Cast brass two-piece hilt composite - counter-guard/D-guard and grip. Small "crown" is visible on the upper quillon finial (this is the only obvious mark found).
Curved single-edge fullered blade is ~24-1/4" in length, including ~5" false-edge. Blade width is ~1-3/8" by ~1/4" thick at ricasso.
NOTE: No scabbard.
These swords were available during both the American and French revolutions, (several examples are listed in "Swords & Blades of the American Revolution" by George C. Neuman, author).
Condition is about good overall with scattered pitting on blade; D-guard attaching screw is missing.

Unusual Indian curved saber (these are normally straight-bladed). Khanda-style iron hilt, very old, perhaps 18th to early 19th century; very decorative langets/blade mounting.
This specific sword has a long, curved, 33-1/4" saber blade with single wide fuller on both sides. Blade appears unmarked; blade is very likely of European origin.
Classical iron khanda hilt, heavy fighting guard, without pommel spike.
Overall length is ~38-1/2".
NOTE: No scabbard included with this sword.
Fair to Good condition overall with scattered pitting ranging from light to moderate (see images). Blade has been polished.

Klewang variant sometimes called a ladeng, reportedly of a type carried by the Ache people of Sumatra. Overall length is ~25-1/2". Heavy up-swept blade is 20" in length and is ~1/2" wide at the junction of the hilt where it becomes triangular in cross-section. Dark horn handle (shows signs of insect borer damage). Good condition.
