Very impressive and heavy Dutch (Napoleonic era) troopers sword. These swords were made either in England or in Germany and purchased by the Dutch King Willem the First and supplied to his troops, prior to the battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo! and used against the army of the French empire Napoleon Bonaparte. These are very similar, almost identical, to the feared British M 1796 Light Cavalry troopers sword and the German M 1811 "Blucher sword". This particular one is not showing any Dutch inspection markings, so it was clearly a part of the English made early first delivery!

A very heavy and rare Dutch Napoleonic time frame sword, issued to Dutch Dragoons, Huzars and Jaeger Regiments and used on the battle field of Quatre Bras and Waterloo in 1815 and later (1830) against the Belgium rebels in an Excellent+ condition. 

This sword was a part to the collection of the The Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. It was sold in an international auction on June 15, 2020 at Het Venduehuis der Notarissen in The Haque .
