Portuguese cavalry troopers sabre.
 

I am new to European + style of swords. I now have this Toledo export sabre. Has seen some better days with light pitting over most of the blade. Said to be influenced by the British m1821 LC sabre. I am new to these blades, It was listed as 1890s. To my eye the blade although a troopers blade so plain and functional with no frills or pomposity, is hand forged? The uneven fuller and there is some wavyness to the spine and edge. Hard to show with my photo abilities. By the 1890s Teledo sword makers had powered mill rollers. So I am assuming this sword blade is quite a bit older? It is in serviable condition. The hilt has some interesting marks on it. I made the leather washer. I don't like the hilt bashing asgainst the scabbard. I know there are some very well read members when it comes to swords like this, info please.
