Very impressive and heavy Dutch (Napoleonic era) troopers sword. These swords were made either in England or in Germany and purchased by the Dutch King and supplied to his army on the battle field (Waterloo!) and used against the troops of the French empire Napoleon Bonaparte. These are very similar, almost identical, to the feared British M 1796 Light Cavalry troopers sword and the German M 1811 "Blucher sword".
A very heavy and rare Dutch Napoleonic time frame sword issued to Dutch Dragoons and Huzars Regiments and used on the battle field of Waterloo in an Excellent+ condition. 

This sword was a part to the collection of the The Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. It was sold in an international auction on June 15, 2020 at Het Venduehuis der Notarissen in The Haque . 

A very nice example!
