1816p French Cavalry sword in German use?

[Pertinax]

In 1870, Alsace-Moselle was annexed by Germany. German troops occupied Klingenthal and seized all the weapons there.
Perhaps these sabers were stored in warehouses and captured.

20 ga brass wire worked well as a replacement for the lost wire on the grip. It takes a few yards due to the tight twist.The wire should dull down to match the remaining original wire, though using blueing would quickly darken it up.

This is valuable information Yuri, and interesting to see the potential for the even later use of these sabers by Uhlan regiments. The single carry ring I think suggests use later in 19th into 20th c. so perhaps WWI.

I hope more info will come in regarding the markings, which do seem to concur with German use IMO.
