Light cavalry officer’s sabre, with a three-pronged brass hilt, engraved with braiding, the pommel adorned with three silver stars, the tang covered in leather, filigree; curved blade, partly engraved, gilded and blued over one-third of its length, signed on the heel: ‘W’; iron scabbard with a single brass ferrule, also decorated with three stars; length 101 cm. (Two slight cracks in the branches; composite).

This sabre was probably re-used, in the late 19th century, by a general who wished to carry the sabre of one of his ancestors.
