Napoleon's saber with scabbard - hunter on horseback

This high-quality bladed weapon is a collector's sabre. A model used by mounted hunters of the emperor's personal and close guard.

The Balp manufactory was established in 1830, inspired by the most beautiful French weapon forges. Its reputation and top-quality production spread throughout France and beyond its borders. Subsequent generations wanted to uphold the tradition and know-how.

Therefore, we have the pleasure and honour to introduce you to BALP, a company that remains a benchmark of quality. Their team, with experience derived from four generations of forging tradition, guarantees genuine product knowledge. The development of the BALP brand is also part of a changing world, where the know-how of different countries has been combined to offer ceremonial equipment meeting the needs of major armies.

The development of all sabres and swords is based on original models. The manufactory aims to stand out by returning to traditions consistent with works from the era. Therefore, they wish to present sabres and swords worthy of history.

All BALP sabres, swords, and daggers are hand-forged, in accordance with traditional knowledge passed down from generation to generation. A guarantee of quality, reinforced by the passion of highly skilled master forgers.

The manufactory supplies models to the national navy, ministries of defence, ministries of the interior, as well as to officers of major military schools, such as the National Gendarmerie Officers School, Coëtquidan schools (Saint Cyr, EMIA...), but also to schools, ministries, regiments, and military centres in many countries.
