German Sword?

So I find out that it is not german but an austrian "kuk KavOffzS M1869" from around 1870-1880 because Weyersberg & Stamm stop the production 1880.

But I am sure that other members here will be able to tell you many more about this interesting sword.

Well, never afraid to make a fool of myself ...

Maybe can add that "kav" mean cavelery, "offz" stay for officer and "S" for sabre.

Rick: nah, you didn't make a fool out of yourself. so many fakes out there, it's hard to say which is real, and which is not.
