Hi guys, not had much luck in the Ethno section so I have come over here for some help. I took this picture of the below sword at the GM on the recent visit, which was potentially carried by Officers of the 8th Assam Rifles, later 6th GR C.1830, is it based on the French sabres of the same period? or another European's countries sabre? Thanks in advance Simon Attached Images
