Good morning/evening Gene, thank you once again for your input. I have taken a pic of the back edge, which shows the crown over 0 over 08. Then, something which I had not noticed before, there is a very tiny crown over what looks like an "R". I hope that the pic comes through ok, I am of the older generation and computers are new-fangled inventions of the devil!I am still getting used to electricity.

Hi all,
Sorry about resurrecting an old thread, but I think that I have solved this little mystery. I believe this piece to be a Bavarian Model 1892 Artillery sword, with a shortened blade, reduced by 3 - 4 inches.
