The guard. the )0( shape in front is really weird almost like it was supposed to have a plate in front of it. Exposed holes like that are ripe for thrusting. But I suppose if point forward for your own thrust it won't matter.
Floral + symmetric + circular around the top is very Russian/Austrian IMO in terms of their presentation stuff. Nothing has been chiseled or detailed yet. Made by an L'Etailleur or something, spelling might be a bit off.
Guard is mostly symmetrical if a bit crooked. Tongue is flat which is counter to most french sabres having rather squared tongues that hook into the pommel. This seems like it is maybe even over-cast, about 1-1.25" long and .75" wide, but it would be drilled through and the tang would pass through it and then the pommel after the grip and then peening.
I wish I could figure out what this guard was at least attempted to be made for initially, but I also still want to have someone 'finish' it and give it the purpose it deserved.
