Blade is a bit short for a dragoon. It would be safer to just label it an army officer's shashka.

Beautiful sword! Was the grip originally covered with leather or they were issued with plain wood like that?

Thank you for comments. Yes, I think they were issued with uncovered grips.

Grips are usually wood, or on occasion some sort of early bakelite.
