Officer’s sabre of the mounted chasseurs.
Brass mountings, flat pommel with fillets and a diamond-shaped rivet button, long tail decorated with line work.

Grip entirely filigree-worked with copper wire and twisted brass wire chains. Buffalo leather strap. Blade with a light grey mottled patina and traces of oxidation in places, slightly curved, with a hollow edge and flat back featuring a small groove near the back. Blackened leather scabbard with a central back seam and two brass fittings; the chape is cut-out with a button and a suspension ring.
