Good read! Cheers! Liorard's saber surely was well put to use. How many units retained their old hussar styled blades, would be interesting to hear what they preferred.

Very nice post Uhlan thank you for posting Also great picture you found there, shows very well the two styles of bars the sabres came in. Tighter Versailles vs the wider spaced out Klingenthals |

Hi, Very informative. Was the ANXI LC manufactured by Chatellerault at any stage? I have an ANXI I acquired in Burkina Faso which has such a spine engraving.

I have seen one with Klingenthal marked hilt fitted with a Chatellerault blade so perhaps the blade was a later replacement.
Do you have any inspection marks on the hilt of your sword ?.

The C mark looks like a Russian inspection mark like the marking on this Model 1881 Russian Dragoon Trooper's Shashka. So could be a Russian capture sabre with Russian made or re- inspected scabbard or could be a Klingenthal mark from the 1830's www.klingenthal.fr/marquages_coulaux.htm also the drag on the scabbard looks 1816 onwards in shape.
The dots could be to match the sabre to scabbard.

have you seen these "dots" before and the stamp on the drag? There was also some wording on the scabbard between the rings but its all rubbed off now. Wondering if you can shed some light on this.
