One of a Kind. This is a truly phenomenal example of a French Cuirassier Dragoon Saber which was captured during the war by a German Kuirassier of the 7th (Magdeburg) Cuirassiers "von Seydlitz", who then scrubbed the French markings and added German Kuirassier unit markings on both the saber guard and the scabbard throat! This is particularly notable as the 7th Cuirassiers took part in what would become known as Von Bredows Death Ride.
