Well the 1897 date and the bakelite type hilt are consistent I had a French saber from the same period with a resin/Bakelite hilt.

Thanks Lew

bakerlite was, in its day, considered a wonderful material ....a forerunner of todays plastic's technology. Interesting that other cultures liked the material.

Kind Regards David
