Thank for your new input, Jasper.
Now, sorry for my ignorance but, you would you say this is a cavalry sword or an infantry one ... or rather for civilian use?

Hi Fernando,
This sword given it's blade length and combined with the full hand protection of a deep basket hilt is a very efficient sword that allowed both cut and thrust and therefor perfect for the heavy cavalry.
