Picked this up today at our local gun show, not a bad short sword and named to" I. Kurheff.Feld Art. Regt. No 11." , has some light sharpining at the tip, no makers mark and it has it's original sheath although it is slightly split at the lower end of the seam and shrunk, but still a nice piece. Thanks Frogprinze for the ID!

As the Frogprince said on the other Forum (Quote)
(A private purchase version of the Prussian Model 1864 infantry short sword. The government issue version (and consequently the private purchase types also) were adopted by the artillery circa 1888. )
