Hi
You said in your post

the beginning of standardisation of sword patterns, started in 1796, but still a bit flexible.

I believe the 1788 light cavilary troopers sabre was start of standardization for the British army

I picked up A 1788 LC a few weeks ago and I will put up pictures on forum to show example of what this sword looks like

Nice item you have aquired though

Well done
