Hussar model 1777 French Mameluke??

I’m not comfortable with the casting of the bronze grip. It’s too unrefined / unfinished for a French officer sabre or for the Imperial Guard. Looking at the langets, I have to wonder if the sword as mounted would even fit in a scabbard. It would be tight at the very least.

The blade is good, pre-1800 going by the writing style on the spine, which further casts into doubt that they are original to each other.
