1816p French Cavalry sword in German use?
 
3 Attachment(s)
The sword is an 1816p French line cavalry sword by Klingenthal.
It has a later scabbard to match the shortened blade now at 35 1/2". The scabbard is plated and has only one ring band and is correct for the current blade length.
As I understand these 1816p were modified for use by the Germans for Ulhan regts.
Any additional information would be appreciated.

There was somebody in swordforum who used to write quite many posts on these captured swords, no idea of the nick anymore, but he mentioned often that his main source was a German language forum on blankewaffen.

In 1870, Alsace-Moselle was annexed by Germany. German troops occupied Klingenthal and seized all the weapons there.
Perhaps these sabers were stored in warehouses and captured.
