This is a sword of the Markgraveship of Badenia/Germay The signature "FMM - zBvH" besides the Baden coat of arms stands for Friedrich Magnus Markgraf zu Baden und Hachberg, 1647-1709. See the same signature of a Grenadier sabre in my collection.

Wow, Rick! That is an amazing boar hunting sword! The square hole was fitted with a crossbar to keep the animal from rearing up the blade after impaled to attack the welder. Great find! Where did you get it?
