I would like to know what sword knot would be proper for a pre-World War One Ulan saber. The blade is marked as follows:

1. Kgl. Sachs. Ulannen Regt. No 17 Kaiser Franz Josef von Oserreich, Konig von Ungarn.

Translated as:

"1st Royal Saxon Ulanen Regiment Number 17, Emperor Franz Josef, Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary"

Another question: What is the official model or patern designation of this sword?

Thank you for looking.

Not my field at all, but you might want to post this in the European Armory forum. :shrug: :)
