As a followup to @authenticantiquearms earlier posting of the French "Gras Sword Bayonet With Scabbard," here is a similar sword that I own. I thought it had the same style of wooden handle, but it is a brass handle instead. I don't know too much about it, and would like to know more. I find it interesting that both sword and scabbard are stamped with the same serial #. It must be a military requirement I suppose.
