Can you picture the museum example? Reminds me of a broken sword blade repurposed for a plug bayonet but who knows? Nice to see an early marking such as this.

Looks like you have a partial makers mark with a six pointed star. May be worth pursuing?

Seems I began this, it's been years since I've read the posting regulations and this time I'm off by eight years. What you think you know and actually know can be two different animals!

Jim that's interesting that some Patton swords were converted into knives.
Reminds me of very old dirks that also use sword blades dating to the 16-1700's.

I once had a M1913 sword and it was a very well made sword. The double edged blade would be better for cutting than the 1908p. Of course both had the same reach of a lance with the arm extended.

A nicely marked Canadian 1908p sword to the 19th Alberta Dragoons. They performed the last Canadian cavalry charge in history at the Battle of Iwuy on 10 October 1918.

I can only guess that the original hilt was valuable for its metal content and removed possibly by a soldier, blade being too long to be bothered with and as you say not much gold content. Rehilted...

I would say the yellow inlay is gold. You can see some loss of the inlay, brass would be heated and stick better while gold is hammered in. Brass dulls and this is all bright. Gold has different...

Jim that is a nice earlier sword and has never been disassembled. I find too many unknowns are in swords with recent disassembly.

Just a conjecture, that different sword fighting produced different attachment methods with some needing to be stronger. I like to think that Scots punch harder using their hilts.

I'm not well versed on early dirks, seems to be a keeper! Having the scabbard is a huge plus, many are missing their scabbards especially leather ones.

I don't believe the grip is ivory due to the cracking and more likely bone.
Looks like a very nice piece though I don't know its origin.
