1840 Iron Guard Sabre Unmarked

I picked this up at auction and am assuming it is an unmarked private purchase sword? Not a lot of info on the iron guards so could use a little help. Grip structure looks good but someone unwound the wire and replaced the leather with electrical tape. I figure no harm in taking it off and replacing it with new leather at this point, thoughts? Overall looks to be a pretty solid example.

Looks like an unmarked generic Heavy Cavalry Saber.

 

I don't think you would hurt anything by removing and/or replacing the rather ugly electrical tape. Save the wire and perhaps you can solder it back together.
