Germanic states type degen with a fixed guard used as late as the 20th century. The spadroon type blade actually post dates the earlier double edge type used for the grenadier officer degen pattern and that would place it past the Napoleonic period (imo). My impression is that it is later than mid 19th century (going by the casting quality).

Is there a maker's mark?

Cheers
