A French saber for id

Corrado, I envy your having access to Aries!!! These volumes are not only hard to find, but horribly expensive.
Actually I think the suggestion of private acquisition though may put this example outside the scope of most of these references which attend to mostly regulation patterns.
I think the geopolitical possibility which transcends such borders but held loyalties or support of the French King might account for such motif and the anomalous styling. Personally I feel inclined toward the French potential,
but agree that as with Walloons, it could be Flemish or border regions of Germany.

* The axiom I was long ago told, 'weapons do not recognize geographic borders.
