Robert Elgood writes about a sabre with a chevron blade on page 146-147 in "Arms and armour of the Jaipur Court" The scabbard is silk with pierced gilt brass locket and chape. He dates that sabre to mid. 20th century. There is text about the origin of the chevron blades and those who made them. From what I can deduct from the text, most chevron blade are not very old, late 19th century and forward and are still being made today.
