You should pay attention to traces of war and use at the inside of the fittings of the rings., especially at the inside of the fiittings, where the ring touches the fitting. After more than 200 years and a long military carreer such traces MUST to be found!

Absolutely Corrado. Plenty wear and tear and battle scars...

Here is another example of an 18thC Austro-Hungarian hussar sabre which shows a visible tang rivet on the pommel. It seems some do, and some don’t. The picture is from Friedrich Jäger’s Ungarischer Säbel und Husaren-Pallasch.
