Notched drag?
Something that caught my eye was the notched drag of the chape, something I would have thought no more of, except that I had just finished reading a thread on here, about notched points, of this same configuration.

It would be a particularly vicious practice to gut enemies using a blunt scabbard! Perhaps the story about using the notches to pick up horse reins is true after all? Or maybe French soldiers used notches on scabbards to recognize their swords amongst others? I have a French Napoleonic sabre cavalerie legere modele AN XI which has a notched M or W on the scabbard drag.
