I have had this sword for 30+ years. I found it as a child while rummaging around in a greatgreat aunts house. I was told that it belonged to a great great uncle and was from "the war" and that I could have it .. No other info except that the family was german.. The 19" long unsharpened blade is stamped "made in germany" on the edge of the riccasso just below the guard. The handle is brass as is the throat and tip of the scabbard. There is a button on the guard that you press to release the sword from the scabbard. The scabbard looks like it was made to fit in a "frog" to allow wearing on a belt..Any ideas on the age /origin of this little sword?? thanks alot..
