German sword maker

Hi Fernando,
You're very welcome! I regret I do not have access to my resources on markings or I would gladly try to search out this marking and the name...so I hope other readers will help out.

The blade seems intact and not shortened so given the rather short length it could very well be a hunting sword blade, but the hilt is of course inconsistant, looking more like a shashka type mount. I'm not saying that's what this is, but certainly has the appearance. The blade appears 19th c. and of course Solingen work.

I would like to hear other opinions as well, and really look forward to the word on the marking.

All the best,
Jim
