The sword is an 1816p French line cavalry sword by Klingenthal.
It has a later scabbard to match the shortened blade now at 35 1/2". The scabbard is plated and has only one ring band and is correct for the current blade length.
As I understand these 1816p were modified for use by the Germans for Ulhan regts.
Any additional information would be appreciated.
