sword... and that's about all I know, unfortunately, as I've just never dealt with these. I inherited this from my dad. It's stamped Weyersberg & Co. Solingen. It's also engraved "In Treue fest" (I think). Is this info and the photo enough to identify this sword? I appreciate the help.

Bavaria infantry model 1855 but there were an evolution of this hilt. Austria had a very similar pattern labeled their 1861. IIRC, there were something like three or four types similar just for Bavaria by the 1860s. Both countries/states used them into the 20th century. Austria and Bavaria were buddies.
