This one happened to be the dragoon officers'
Pattern 1841
sabre, albeit
enclosed in the iron scabbard, similar to the cavalry
pattern 1827
sabre one. The mass was downwards of 1,500 gr. In 1865 the
sabre was made all the generals' and officers' regulation weapon,
who used to carry the dragoon officers Pattern 1841 sabre
with an infantry sword-knot earlier on. In 1881 it came
in for a replacement with the dragoon officers' Pattern 1881 shashka (shasqua)
and was thus eventually removed
("phased out") from
equipage.
