19th century. Iron hilts with Baroque shell and foliage pieced guards, lavishly overlaid in gold. Plumed helmet form pommels to match. Square section spirally fluted grips overlaid in Morocco leather. 34 ¾” rectangular section blade. One marked MADE IN FRANCE , the other PARIS with lion mark. As expected, the blades are mismatched as they would break and were routinely replaced. The grips with expected wear from use. Pair.
