Austro-Hungarian? Help ID

[DaveA]

Hello,

I purchased this sword at an antique store in Vienna (Wien) over a decade ago. While I've been concentrating on ethnographic weapons, I recently remembered that I never found a definitive identification for this weapon. I believe it is Austro-Hungarian, a dress sword.

The blade:

• Undecorated apart from maker's mark on ricasso
• Engraved/stamped on the ricasso:
  "Weyersberg & Stamm
  Solingen"
• Single fuller
• Length 29 ¾ inches measured guard to point
• Slightly curved upward
• Distal taper ¼ inch at guard to 1/16 inch at point
• Width ⅞th inches measured at guard, narrowing to ½ inch before point

The scabbard:

• Black leather with brass.
• An embossed emblem with crown.
• Embossed floral design patterns.

The grip:

• Dark leather wrapped with brass strip, dotted geometric design
• A brass decoration along the top with sheaves of wheat design.
• Hilt measuring 5 inches from guard to pommel

The guard:

• Sheet type basket, carved and engraved
• Downward curving quillion in shape of a scroll
• Floral design patterns
• A detailed representation of the coat of arms of the Empire of Austria form Congress of Vienna 1815-1867.

Your thoughts please?

Thank you!

Best Regards,

Dave A.

Yes, it's the generic Austro-Hungarian civic servants' sword from the late 19th-early 20th c..
