I suspect you got me confused with Gustav whom, I think, has perplexities on the fitting of the blade (which I may share after seeing his highlighted pictures).
It would be most unusual, though, that this would have a cavalry blade since the guard is most positively one for navy ( very prominent anchor).
Something may be the matter.
There may have been legitimate reasons why this blade is there or fishy ones (you see the navy connection?
)
