A Swiss (Engineering?) Sword

Blade · 12th October 2009, 05:40 PM

I have this short sawback sword, I was told it's a swiss artillery sword, or an engineering sword.

I haven't seen many of them for sale on ebay.

It has serial number and a mark of Wester&co solingen.
Is there a way to find out when it was made?
I would like to try to date this piece, verify it's authenticity, and learn about how and where it was used. in short, any info that can be provided on this piece is wellcome.
