19TH C. FRENCH WOOD CONVERTIBLE
19TH C. FRENCH WOOD CONVERTIBLE FLUTE / FENCING RAPIERWestern Europe, France, Paris, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. This is a fine antique wood and nickel-silver low pitch flute that is made by the French maker Martin Freres that has been converted into a fencing foil sheath! The segments are each stamped with the maker emblem and the "JEAN MARTIN / PARIS" within an oval in tribute to founder Jean Baptiste Martin, and the nickel-silver keys and mouthpiece are intact, but at some point someone realized that this hollow, tubular instrument was the perfect case for a fencing blade and added a threaded fitting to the foot joint and permanently sealed the head and middle joints together to create a sheath. A final wood segment - that nearly perfectly matches the flute's wood graining - forms the handle for a Prieur made #5 (adult sized) fencing blade - which screws securely into the flute! This is a highly unusual combination of vintage instrument and weapon- ideal for concealed protection, especially for those that engage in the highly dangerous lifestyles of orchestra musicians. Size: 36.75" L x 1.25" W (93.3 cm x 3.2 cm)
