I have asked the seller and apparently has no manufacturer seal, is this remarkable and usual?

It looks like an Infantry officer's saber mod. 1912 Netherlands.

Could it be that this saber was a protagonist in World War I?

It is unlikely, Holland was a neutral country in WW1

And is it usual for this type of sabers to have no manufacturer seal? Do you know who made them?

Manufacturer's stamp may be absent, it is not unusual. Similar variant of ferrule i seen on the hilt from Hörster, E. & F. It is necessary to ask the distributor (Mansvelt & Zoon)

It is a Dutch army officer's saber. Eickhorn made some and it is shown in the Eickhorn export catalog for the Netherlands model # 369. Joe S

IMHO Design differs from Eickhorn.

Bone that could be its German manufacturer, although we are not sure, What more manufacturers made this sword or could manufacture it even though it did not have a manufacturing seal? I find interesting the debate that has been formed with this piece.

Your original attachment shows two different sabers, one with a plain ferrule, one with an embellished one. The embellished one looks like an Eickhorn pattern, but it could have been made by someone else. The sword is definitely a Dutch army officers saber from the 1930s. It is exactly like one from my collection . The Blade etching is Dutch for "Eisenhouser, which literally means "Iron Cutting" and refers to a high quality blade. I sold my Eickhorn export catalogs and cannot find a copy of the page depicting your saber, but if I do, I will post it. Joe S
