Straight blade with rounded back, central point and double fullers on both sides, without blade inscription. Two stamps "39" and "R" with a dot above and the number "323" on the knuckle bow.

The pallasch is the straight cutting and thrusting sword of the heavy cavalry. French cuirassiers already carried the four-branch brass hilt on the model An IX; the model An XI of 1802/03 introduced the double-fullered blade from the Klingenthal manufactory. The hilts were made at Versailles and Klingenthal, whose controllers struck their stamps into hilt and blade. After the end of the Empire the form was continued as model 1816 for the line cavalry.
