Light cavalry officer's saber, Empire/Restoration. Blued and gilded blade. Scabbard with brass fittings.

Authentic light cavalry saber. An interesting feature is the presence of two half-olives on the hilt, which are more commonly found on troop sabers.
But some officers also had them added to their sabers... Uncommon!
Leather-covered hilt with filigree. Brass mount.
Hilt with 3 branches and 2 lugs. Total length 970 mm, including a blade of 815 mm with beautiful remnants of blueing/gilding.
Marked "KS" (?) on the heel, difficult to read, hidden by the lugs. This is believed to be De Kirchbaum and Schnitzer in Solingen, active in the early 19th century.
The scabbard is heavily oxidized and cleaned, and is even pierced in places, following extensive stripping that is not new. It has protected the blade well; it is the correct model used during the First Empire, meaning it has a flat top edge.
Used during the Empire and until the beginning of the Restoration. Sold as is, with its history!
