Bisch 1844 - 1861) und gekröntem "G" (Directeur Gaudin 1848/49), beidseitige Darstellung des Ordens der Ehrenlegion am Band, darüber etwas undeutliche Manufakturbezeichnung "Manuf.re N.le de Châtellerault" bzw.

Überreich reliefiertes und durchbrochen gearbeitetes Bügelgefäß mit hervorragend erhaltener Feuervergoldung, die filigran floral durchbrochenen Stichblätter mit Darstellungen normannischer Schwertkämpfer, Trophäenbündel und Rüstung. Der Griffbügel mit erhabenem Eichenlaub verziert und am Knauf in Keilerköpfe auslaufend. Die ovale Knaufkappe mit Floral- und Perlstabdekor sowie vorderseitig blattumranktem Monogramm "JP". Gerillter Horngriff mit Silberdrahtwicklung. Länge des Degens 101,5 cm. Anhängendes Goldportepée an schwarzer (originaler?) Kordel. Die Stahlscheide mit größtenteils schön erhaltener Bläuung und drei Scheidenbeschlägen mit sehr schöner Feuervergoldung, neben dem durchgängigen erhabenen Ornamental- und Floraldekor zeigen das Mund- und das Ortblech feine Trophäenbündel auf gekörntem Grund und das Schleppblech eine sich windende, durchbrochen gearbeitete Schlange.

Major J. Poysat wird bereits 1833 und 1835 im "Guides des officiers et sous-officiers de la garde nationale de Paris" als "Adjutant-Major de la 3e légion de la garde nationale de Paris" geführt. Die 1789 gegründete Nationalgarde, unter Napoleon I. bis zu 560.000 Mann stark und teils auch innerhalb der Armee verwendet, wurde 1827 aufgelöst, aber bereits 1830 unter Louis-Philippe wieder aufgestellt. 1848 war sie maßgeblich an der Niederschlagung des Juniaufstandes beteiligt.
Wunderschönes Ehrengeschenk.

Major J. Poysat is mentioned in the "Guides des officiers et sous-officiers de la garde nationale de Paris" as "Adjutant-Major de la 3e légion de la garde nationale de Paris" as early as 1833 and 1835. Established in 1789, the National Guard comprised up to 560,000 members under Napoleon I and was partly deployed to support the army. It was dissolved in 1827, but re-established in 1830 under Louis Philippe. In 1848, it played a major part in the defeat of the June Uprising.
Beautiful gift of honour.
