In 1676, Louis XIV chose the bravest grenadiers from his line infantry regiments
and formed a 250-man guard cavalry regiment named the Grenadiers à Cheval
de la Garde. Their task, as bravest of the brave, was to spearhead the charges
of the infantry or cavalry of the Maison du Roi.
After the end of the French Revolutionary Wars, in which France had resisted all
the attacks of the First Coalition and strengthened its army, the first consul,
Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), took total power into his hands. Two guard units
were formed: the Foot and Mounted Grenadiers of the Consular Guard. They had
very similar uniforms, and identical headgear - the distinctive tall black
bearskin hats. After Napoleon was crowned emperor in 1804, the mounted regiment
was renamed the Grenadiers à Cheval de la Garde Imperiale. |

This beautiful English styled Naval Officers Sword is most likely of French
origin, although this particular style was widely used throughout Europe and in
the Americas. The Spadroon Sword was popular during the 1790s among military and
naval officers. Around the time of the Napoleonic War, European and American
military forces began to utilize a specific style of sword hilt termed the "Five
ball" hilt. In France, it was known as the èpèe Anglaise. It incorporated as a
decorative feature spheres molded into the knuckleguard and counterguard,
grouped as strings of 5 spheres, with one string on the knuckleguard and one on
the counterguard. The term is often used a generic reference to swords which
have the characteristics ball patterns in their hilts regardless of the exact
number of balls. It was used by both Army and Navy officers, and in Great
Britain, France and the United States, a classic example being the British
Officers Five-Ball Spadroon.
The blade usually had a broad, central fuller and a single edge, often with a
false edge near the tip. Brass hilt with black plastic handle and a pillow
pommel. The spadroon comes with leather scabbard with brass mountings over it. |
