Hi, can anyone help me out here. I have this sword, and its a little odd.At first it looks like a 1796 light cavalry pattern sword. Put on closer inspection it looks to small, the blade is 34 inches long and a narrow inch and a bit wide. the clip hand guard is made of steel which is narrower when looking at it from the edge then my other swords of this type. its missing its leather hand chip and wire. there are no makings on the blade to be seen. the scabbard as been painted black and stamped above the upper scabbard ring is 14 LD.
The scabbard fits the sword and overall it all looks lighter then it should. any ideas, views, michael
