Beautifully done Gene!!!! and nicely presented. The M1796 is truly one of the most fascinating British cavalry sabres and besides being the first officially recognized pattern, actually ended up being used by many countries. It was so superbly regarded as the quintessant sabre that it became the M1811 Prussian cavalry sabre 'Blucher sabre'.
I dont think Ive ever seen a Harvey M1796 and Samuel Harvey worked mostly c.1750s into the 80s. His mark was placed on the blade and typically the 'running wolf' with his initials SH.

Alexander, yet another amazing British sword! Congratulations.

All best regards,
Jim

Thank you very much Jim.

The 1796 really is one of 'those' swords isn't it?
The 'peacemaker' of Sabres.

I'm glad you agree with my thoughts on the maker.
I had some free time this afternoon (as you can see).
Here's a composite pic for Alexander, so if he wants he can save it as one file:
