Hello Ingvar.
Thank you for bege ID.
This is explains a lot. Is it possible that sabre was assembled as a gift, or custom ordered for a "polkovnyk" of that regiment? That may explain the international assembly of different part of the sabre? I know, that countries were buying and selling blades themselves, as raw material, that was fitted with appropriate handle and scabbard.
BTW, scabbard and hendle look like perfect match to me. Same time, same technique, same material and design.
