Italian officers sabre
Circa 1790-1800 with Garde de Perle style hilt and horse hair pommel cap.



Cartouche
Square cartouche at the ricasso with Solingen engraved in one side and S & J or S & K on the other.


Rose Mark
Rose mark on the spine of the blade


Interestingly with this sabre, the blade decoration is more bespoke than normally seen
