Hello,

I have this Austrian civil servant sword from around 1900 bearing the monogram of emperor Franz Josef I (reigned 1848-1916).

Can somebody help me please identify the manufacturer of the blade?!

The marking writes "SCLLIN(G)..."

PS: I assumed it to be a misspelling of SOLINGEN as "SOLLIN(G)..." but the second letter is a clear "C" and Solingen was a well known name, thus unlikely to be misspelled so grossly.
