Can someone translate this? I think it’s French.

1. I read this:

   Maître d’armes de Chat (?) – avril 1877

   Swordmaster of Chat – April 1877

2. Mre d’Armes de Chat Avril 1877

3. Manufacture d’armes de Châtellerault, avril 1877

4. I am not sure about what’s written at one point. “Maitre d’armes de Chati – Avril 1871`”

   I would translate it into “Weapon master of Chati – April 1871”

   A quick search pointed me to [this](https://www.histoire-genealogie.com/Un-sabre-et-une-inscription-sur-la-lame-a-identifier?lang=fr) does yours look similar?

5. Manufacture d’Armes de Châtellerault Avril 1877

6. Maître d’armes de Châti Avril 1877

   Master of arms of Châti Apris 1877

   This seems to be a French officer’s sword from that period.
