Hi, I'm new to the community and I am considering buying a 1878 Chatellerault M1822 sabre. However, there are some marks on the sheath, and blade that I haven't seen on any other example of the same sabre online. Does anyone know what they represent?

I believe there should be a narrow ricasso between the fuller termination and the guard. It should be visible even with a leather washer, which is absent from this one. Also, the seam of the leather grip wrap looks a little rough.
Do you have a photo of the peen?
As always, I’m just a hobbyist. Maybe an expert will chime in soon. Perhaps your mark will be known to them or their research materials.
