I saw this sword today at a local gun show. I believe it's a police piece from one of the smaller German states. The logo appears to be Eickhorn's but it seems not quite right. The sword's owner says it's German,imported for use in the US Civil War and made by the firm who owned the squirrel logo before Eickhorn. What exactly is it?
