Antique French Marked M1840 Wristbreaker Cavalry Sword & Scabbard

Description

I finally refreshed my military offerings from a great auction from one of my two favorite auction houses here in Western Mass. This is absolutely a very nice french M1840 Calvary Saber and scabbard or as widely known "the Wristbreaker" Everytime I handle one of these I think of how good shape one has to be to swing and manuever properly on horseback with opposition all around. Many certainly not all of today's soldiers just moves a mouse over the target. It is fully marked and dated in French on the top of the blade and my camera will not hold a focus to save its life. But reads "Mre d'Armes Chat F-Aus 1876 Cav L MG 1822". It does have an R S marking down by the hilt /base of blade  From what I searched this could be worth a little more towards 1200-1500 but I like to offer good value to my customers as well.  It is absolutely old and no newer reproduction and even if I'm wrong my items are all returnable. Tried to picture it well to answer questions and will do my best answering any further. I didn't clean anything just offering it as purchased from major collection. I will edit anything I verify while for sale.
No discount extorters that ebay encourages through ridiculous feedback policies. I think my price is one of good value and I had to pay too and then there are fees. I burn a lot of gas and time to try to find the good stuff and have to pay for it too, then research and list, then fees, then packing worrying about shipping. I always do my best in shipping and this should still be reasonable going UPS ground absolutely will try to double boxed because of glass and we want it to arrive safely.
Check out the pictures they took long enough to download.  I always do my best in shipping and answering question or concerns but work 3rd shift so can't always answer immediately Thanks for your time and taking a look!!
