Description
Historical saber of the rural guard equipment. Model developed in collaboration with the National Federation of Country Guards.
From the period of the First Empire to the reign of Louis Philippe, several hundred thousand units of the Mle An XI lighter were produced. It would equip the Grande Armée. After 1831, it was dethroned by the model sword of 1831. It would always be worn by some urban 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 Guard tracking poachers and illegal distillers...
The Balp brand was established in 1830, in reference to the finest French weapon forges. Its reputation and highest quality production spread within France and beyond its borders. Subsequent generations wanted to uphold the tradition and know-how.
Therefore, we have the pleasure and honor to present to you the BALP brand, which remains a benchmark of quality. Their team, with experience stemming from 4 generations of forging tradition, guarantees genuine product knowledge. The development of the BALP brand is also part of a changing world, where the know-how of various 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 manufactory aims to stand out by returning to traditions consistent with works from the era. Therefore, they want to present sabers and swords worthy of history.
All BALP sabers, swords, and daggers are hand-forged, in accordance with traditional knowledge passed down from generation to generation. Quality assurance, sustained by the passion of highly skilled master forgers.
The manufactory supplies models to the national navy, ministries of defense, ministries of the interior, as well as for officers of major military schools, such as the National Gendarmerie Officers School, coëtquidan schools (Saint Cyr, EMIA...), but also 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. |
