Perhaps these sabers were stored in warehouses and captured.

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.
