There have really been quite a few threads on nimchas recently, but I decided to start a separate one for mine as I do not want to hijack somebody else's thread.

I believe this one is from the 19th century, with a European blade. Unfortunately the blade shows no markings and my first question is, can somebody help identify the pattern? I am guessing French cavalry, perhaps M 1822, but I am really not sure.
The hilt has some damage - on one side a few holes have been filled with epoxy, and I think the wire repair is also recent. I am planning to leave it as it is, though, but what would you advice?

Thanks,

Teodor
