So the bow of your blade is just about the same as this War production sabre made in Cadiz for a light Cavalry "personal equipment"; as if this was the current 'extreme' curvature produced in factories. On the other hand, if i well recall, there are sources suggesting that another procedure was to acquire sabres with a current bow and then have them re-curved in a private smith. But this would then require new scabbards with a correspondent curve.
