Dating is always tricky, especially when it comes to European blades on North African hilts. On top of that, European marks were copied locally, and given the combination of marks on yours Yuri, it looks like most of them were applied in Morocco.

The blade on the hussar saber is of an older form, wider at the base, then narrower and then with a yelman at the tip. Yours on the other hand is much more in line with European 19th century patterns.
