Heavy cavalry sabre for officer. Circa 1900

Our first impression when we first held this sword was rather negative.
The leather of the scabbard is very fine, roughly finished, and its trimmings are really thin for a military weapon, we were leaning towards a good piece, equipped with a totally adequate scabbard. Except that this saber is equipped with a rush blade, not common, and that the cover is of a specific model to allow the passage of such a blade.
After all, it has been a long time since the sabers that equip our military no longer have any combat function.
This saber is therefore probably a so-called "commercial" model which was originally equipped with a light scabbard, the leather of which has been redone.
The saber and scabbard assembly weighs only 853 grams. Its total length is 100 cm.
Beautiful chiseled bronze handle, very pleasing to see. Uncommon
