Spanish Model 1840 Cavalry Sword ?

Thanks for the information; it sounds like a very plausible theory to me for a sword dated 1849.

Still, those sabers were not issued with a crown stamped on the handguard, as far as I know. The fact that this item has the crown stamped, points to a cavalry unit assigned to escort a member of the royal house. But again, this is only a logic exercise, not a fact.

Regards
