Hi, not 100% relevant, but still nice to see, this is a sabre made for Napoleon, while he was in Egypt.

Isn't this the one some members of his family sold, three years ago, in auction for a few million $, eventually to another member of his family?

No, it is not the same sword. The one on recent sale was of "european style" while this is of mameluke style.
