After having consulted the book "Les Sabres portés par l'armée Francaise" de Lhoste/Resek I tend to say that this sabre is a "sabre d'officier supérieur de Cavalerie légère, modèle à l'orientale vers 1830. Are there any signatures or marks on the blade? By the way, all the similar sabres of this type shown in the book mentioned above have no rhino grips. They all have grips of corn, ivory, ebony or nacre.
