Thanks Fred Prinz - FP for your answer, I have asked the seller if he can also see the year of manufacture in the backbone of the blade near the handguard as I commented Texasuberalles as well as other brands but I still have not received a response from the seller . Can this saber be said to be German or Prussian? Which definition would be more correct?
Saxony was one of the larger German states that made up Germany in the Imperial era. Prussia was the largest, there was also Bavaria, Wurttemberg the smaller states etc. With some of the German states following Prussia's example in swords, or not instead using their own patterns. And that being the case here because the Prussian artillery saber is similar but different (the markings themselves are another variable). That said, German Artilleriesabel IMO would be the more accurate description.
PS: Because its Army was smaller the Saxon swords overall are harder to find. Best Regards, Fred
