This spadroon model was carried by the leading Dutch Infantry General officers in the campaign during the Belgium revolution of 1831. It is a quite rare model and seldom found. (Please see the attached old drawing as a reference. It gives, in the Dutch language, more information about this model and the general officers who carried it during these 10 days of the campaign.)
According to the Dutch National War museum, this is a M 1815 Infantry Field & General officers spadroon. Used from 1815 till 1840 only.  It looks very close to the German IOD M 1819 spadroon, but the dimensions are much bigger and heavier. (see last picture for a comparison.) : A.) German IOD M 1819 spadroon. B.) Dutch Infantry officers spadroon M1820. C.) Dutch Infantry Field & General Officers Spadroon M 1815.
