Actually many of the M1796 blades for officers sabres were often much smaller than the troopers versions, I once had an Osborn officers sabre which had a blade of about 29". It was quite a contrast to the massive troopers blades as you note. Still this could be as has been discussed, a blade from Germany intended for officers. It certainly would not be a British blade with these engraved markings as I think Midelburgo is right, there is no reason why these should not be authentic. |
