This is an unusual example of this rather iconic sword. Most 1890s have a slightly longer blade, and do not posses a fullered back at the point like this one. While 1890s are rather common, this one is rather scarce.
The 1890 is an interesting sword, produced at the French State manufacture of Chatellerault for the Chilean Army. It is a very sturdy sword with a very avant garde design, using a vulcanized rubber grip, a rarity at the time.
The sword is in very good overall shape, with miniaml pitting accross the blade. The assembly is solid.
