French 1845 sabre scabbard serials and paint?

The paint looks like a professional job, with a solid texture, no collector trick. I would leave it as it is, as you will achieve no better solution by meddling with it.

Thank you both for sharing your knowledge and thoughts. I shall leave it as it is. I do wish these old swords could talk; the stories they could tell!

This is the latest variation of this model with iron scabbard and just one ring.
