Belgian or French Folding Sword

The ivory handle with a steel thumb release, the blade swinging to an open blade leaving a guard, signed blade, 53 cm high when open. 

Made by Gilson. I can’t make out the city name.

Belgian Folding Sword, 19th Century

This one appears to be missing the trigger mechanism on its hilt. The trigger causes the blade to fold out, and also acts as a safety to prevent the blade from accidentally folding through the opening in the guard.

Folding Cutlass, 19th Century

This opulent example is in the Deutsches Klingenmuseum in Solingen, Germany. It appears to be the same type of folding cutlass that was produced in Belgium in the 19th century, although I cannot find any information on this example that would confirm that it is Belgian.

Other examples here, here, and here.
