Description
A historic saber from the rural guard equipment. A model developed in collaboration with the National Federation of National Guards.
Between the First Empire and the reign of Louis-Philippe, hundreds of thousands of Mle An XI lighters were produced. They equipped the Grande Armée. After 1831, the exemplary sword from 1831 was dethroned but was always carried by some city National Guards until the eve of the 1870 war. Finally, we find it on the eve of the Great War, striking the hips of our rural patrol guard hunting poachers and illegal distillers.
The Balp brand was established in 1830, in homage to the most beautiful French arms smithies. Its reputation and highest quality of production spread throughout France and beyond. Later, subsequent generations aimed to uphold the tradition and know-how.
Therefore, we are pleased and honored to introduce the BALP company, which remains a benchmark for quality. Their team’s experience, rooted in four generations of smithing 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 meeting the needs of major armies.
The development of all sabers and swords is based on original models. The brand aims to stand out by returning to traditions consistent with works from the era. That’s 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 smith masters.
The brand supplies models to the navy, defense ministries, interior ministries, as well as for senior officers of military academies such as the National School of Gendarmerie Officers, Coëtquidan schools (Saint Cyr, EMIA...), but also to schools, ministries, regiments, and military centers in many countries.

| Additional information | Delivered with a quality certificate. 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. |
