61.75cm curved fullered blade struck with a crown over R maker's stamp at the forte, regulation brass hilt, the D-shaped knuckle guard with two scrolling support bars, ribbed grip. See Le Sabre D'ABORDAGE by Michel Petard pages 55 to 57. Almost certainly used at Trafalgar but Gilkerson records them as having been used by the Americans during the American Revolution.
