Description
This very high-quality edged weapon is a collector's saber.
Since 1801, the state factory has been producing the model of the Chasseur saber An IX. After some modifications, especially at the tip of the saber, which is retracted along the axis and the blade is extended, the successor to the An IX Chasseur saber will be the An XI model, followed by the An XIII. This is the famous cavalry blade, which will be used during the wars of the Empire by elite cuirassiers and gendarmes.
This saber, also known as the “cuirassier’s blade,” will be part of all the major battles of the Napoleonic wars.
After the advent of the Empire, national production became imperial production. The feature visible in the above photos is an exact copy of the one used by the factory since 1805.
The Balp manufactory was established in 1830, in homage to the most beautiful French arms workshops. Its reputation and the highest quality of production spread throughout France and beyond its borders. Later, subsequent generations aimed to uphold the tradition and know-how.
Therefore, we have the pleasure and honor to present the BALP brand, which remains a benchmark of quality. Their team’s experience, rooted in four generations of forge tradition, guarantees true expertise in their products. The development of the BALP brand is also part of a changing world, where know-how from different countries has been combined to offer ceremonial equipment that meets the needs of major armies.
The development of all sabers and swords is based on original models. The manufactory aims to stand out by returning to traditions consistent with works from the era. That is why they want to present sabers and swords worthy of history.
All BALP sabers, swords, and daggers are hand-forged, following traditional knowledge passed down through generations. A quality guarantee, reinforced by the passion of highly skilled master smiths.
The manufactory supplies models for the navy, defense ministries, interior ministries, as well as for officers of leading military schools such as the National Officer School of Gendarmerie, Coëtquidan schools (Saint Cyr, EMIA...), but also schools, ministries, regiments, and military centers in many countries.

Stainless Steel: The main advantage of using stainless steel is, as the name suggests, protection against oxidation. Unlike carbon steel, stainless steel does not require surface treatment to protect against oxidation. All our blades are traditionally forged and hardened. The use of sabers and swords as parade weapons no longer justifies the use of carbon steels, which shorten the life of the blades. 24K Gold Plating: Gold plating is considered the best finish available and provides additional added value. Gold plating is a durable and non-corrosive finish, therefore it protects very well against oxidation. We use electrolytic baths, which allow us to obtain 24-carat gold plating (approximately 99.3 to 99.7% gold). Gold plating is also very resistant to fading over time. |
