Knife for ID
This was posted on a site I frequent. I thought I'd present it for comment and ID.

Say Bob, isn't that some 'ingenious' handle setup, starting by the reshaped guard, mounted on a (rather) shortened sword blade?
You may be sure the members will recognize that Royal monogram ! . |

I trust someone will recognise the monogram and inscription. It's all well outside my area of expertise. Best I can come up with personally is European, shortened sword blade.
For what it may be worth, stacked leather handles on the US military knives I've owned have not been problematic, but they're less than 80 years old. |

HI Guys, it appears to be the blade of a Saxon, Infantry Officer's sword, WW1 era.

This has been a Saxon infantry sword M 1867 and the monogramm stands for King Albert of Saxony (Albertus Rex). He died in 1902.

This has been in its better days a Saxon infantry sword M 1867. The monogramm "AR" stands for Albert, King of Saxony, +1902. The Eisenhauer"-mark is a sign of quality and durability of the blade - ironcutter should be the exact translation.
