Paris modèle 1923 sword. Top quality with metal scabbard, nickel/cromed plated, tempered steel, with/without engravings on blade.
A forged stainless steel blade hammered to the correct curvature. It is hardened to ca. 48-52 ° HRC Rockwell, then well-tempered and hand-polished.
The blade is etched/or not with the pattern. The acid-etch is so deep one can feel it with a fingernail |
