P1821 Troopers Light Cavalry Sabre

Hi Jim,
As usual many thanks for your info and interest. The acceptance stamp using only one number was discontinued in the 1840's so that places this sword
before this time. This models connection with that 'famous charge' along with the unusual, in my experience, instance of every major component independently and similarly stamped was immediately fatal to my bidding arm. I have attached a photograph of, what I believe is, a Light Cavalry Trooper contemporary with this 1821 model with one of these swords at his side.
My Regards,
Norman.
