Napoleonic French sword?

[LE LOUP DES MERS]

I have a guy offering this sword in trade for a katana, I wanna know if this sword is original and what this sword dates to/what's it worth? Accordioning to him it's a French sword from the Napoleonic era.

Hello.

 

I have sent your images to an expert in Napoleonic swords and hopefully he will be able to offer an opinion.

hey thanks, much appreciated.

Very likely a French Epee A l’Anglaise in use between 1800 - 1805. It is a court sword.

one was sold via a sword FB group for 600 Euros. Apparently marked down.

Unable to confirm the swords authenticity.

Hope that is of some use.

A fair trade also depends upon your katana value.

Despite the opinion I sought I think it highly recommended to contact a professional in this field before purchasing the sword. Facebook has a number of groups that maybe worth consulting.

the katana isn't worth much its literally missing everting, it's just the blade with a tang, the blade is in pretty bad shape too, I did the trade worse comes to worse it's a reproduction.
