Those are the territories of the Prince-electors of the Holy Roman Empire. "Fur" simply means "for" I think, and "Kaiserlich" would probably refer to something of the Emperor's or imperial. Perhaps the last word is macht ("makes", according to google) rather than maust?

Hi,
these are alle territories in former Germany:
archbishops land: Mainz and Trier, Cölln (Colongne)
and Territories: Sachsen, Pfaltz, Brandenburg, Bayern (Bavaria), Mecklenburg, ?
"Für" means for.
and the rest maybe "Ihro Kaiserlich. Majest." meaning "The royal majesty"

Maybe a Signature when the Germany Country was build out of the autonom Kingdoms in 1871 (Reichsgründung)

Don't know about the markings, but pattern is circa 1750-ish, based on large pas 'd ane, flat/pierced outward-jutting guards, etc. Has it been silvered, chromed? Painted? The surface just looked a little too shiny for me?

Hi Karlo,

Nice sword.
Steel hilt? Nice silver wire binding.
Could you possibly post a picture of the hilt next to a ruler/measure so I can compare the dimensions with a childs smallsword of mine?
