Sword with ivory fluted grip
This sabre demonstrates common characteristic of the type with
its broad, curved, single-edged blade with single-handed grip.
These kinds of swords were used mainly by cavalry regiments. The
hilt features a squared-off fig-shaped pommel, ivory fluted grip,
slightly upturned crossguard with the knuckleguard reaching upwards
towards the sword's pommel and decorative stacked spheres on the
knuckleguard and fingerloop.
