EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Model 1854 Pinfire Fusil Lance de Cent-Gardes with a Scarce Sword-Bayonet, dating back to around 1856. Crafted by the skilled hands of the French School in the 19th century, this remarkable piece is made from wood, steel, and brass. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this firearm. Its blued sighted octagonal to round barrel features four grooves and a folding rear-sight mounted at the breech. The walnut three-quarter stock bears the number "103" on its butt and even houses a vial of blessed water within an inset roundel near the wrist. Accompanying this stunning rifle is a sword bayonet that adds an extra touch of elegance. With its shortened fullered T-section blade bearing Chatellerault arsenal markings from 1854, it boasts a brass hilt with a unique disc-shaped guard and grooved dark horn grip. The regulation steel scabbard completes this exceptional ensemble. Measuring at approximately 86.5 cm in length for both bayonet blade and rifle barrel (79 cm), this Model 1854 Pinfire Fusil Lance de Cent-Gardes embodies both beauty and functionality. Captured through eChristies Images by Bridgeman Images, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind such weaponry but also offers us insight into historical craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.
