At the back of the flat brass hilt quillon is a V for Versailles ordonnance stamp, further, a small B and No.29. Total length ca. 113 cm. Copper grip binding is missing, orginal grip leather. The scabbard has some pitting and has been somewhat restored and blackened by a previous collector.

Welcome to the forum Mauricio, translated into English for other forum members 

A doubt regarding the 1822 when the second ring was actually removed from the scabbard. I read that in 1887. More less, but that sheath is from 1879, it will be a second scabbard . I have a copy of the same year, same sheath, a ring

The weapon has the model designation Mlle. 1822, it was manufactured in 1878
