One more thing, you are also correct in suspecting it took part in the Uprising of 1831. I found it in England where many participants went to exile.
This saber has a heavy duty steel scabbard that came to me on a similar saber but fit that one only loosely. It however fits this one like a glove!
Surprisingly the scabbard has no suspension rings at all. I always found it curious.

Could we see the scabbard? I wonder if it might have fitted into a leather or fabric "rig"; perhaps a sabreteche; spelling? A flat squarish bag that hangs below a sword? For my part, I think it just sounds like it'd make a great sheild
