Conclusion: Nice little figure from French Metal Models: Napoleonic French officer in parade.
Note: Did the sword are in correct position?
Highly recommended!

Metal Models have in my opinion the best Napoleontic figures.
Alot of them are very static.

Hi Pedro.The sword has to be straight, can not be curved like a cavalry saber or a "sabre briquet" of grenadier.
The line infantry officer´s reglamentary sword is straight.
Only elite companies had slightly curved sword.
Ref. Rousselot, Infanterie de ligne.

Surely, the saber had been curved, when packaging the figure.

Thank you for value info Eduardo.

Hi Pedro. As I mentioned in the private message that I send to you, I visited Lisbon in 2009.
I recommend to everyone reading this, that they must go to Lisbon because it is a beautiful city. Do not forget to visit the navy and army museums,
both are very interesting.Here are some pictures I took.



When Spain and Portugal divided the world

Great trip Eduardo!

Yes - been there, in 1982 ! so it has probably changed much - the Battle of Aporto and the Order of The Tower award.etc.

Thank you Pedro for the write-up!

Eduardo, if you have many more images from the museum I can add them here:

Yes Gordy, of course. How do I to create a gallery in the reference section?

Yes Rob, almost everything changed for the better, the infrastructure/services will actually make you very positively surprised.
Good weather and food, beaches, golf and the Portuguese history, with ancient and modern ex-libris and the great hospitality of the Portuguese people will make you even more surprised.

I would manually add them
