So the blade was made at Klingenthal. Is that the entire text, as shown in the picture ... no date or Couleaux Freres ?
The Versailles inscritption on the hilt; could it be that the hilt was made at Manufacture de Versaiiles or, which is more likely, these troops were stationed at Versailles barracks?
Could you show us the inspection marks (poinçons), if there are any?
