Now, look at this one.
So called Light Cavalry Sabre for Personal Gear, War production.
From the work ARMAMENTO ESPAÑOL EN LA GUERRA DE LA INDEPENDENCIA 1788-1814 de Juan L. Calvó Pascual.
(Don Calvó has once offered me a copy)
This example, marked and produced in 1811 (Cadiz), with more 2 cms. length and less 5 m/m flecha (bow) has almost the same curvature as mine.
Could it be that this Spanish model inspired the making of mine ... in such case not a freelancer but a regular weapon ?
