If I had to make a judgement - it's that the sword (which seems to be made by WKC) is a dress or walking out version (Extrasäbel) of the n/A M 1856 Preußischer Artilleriesäbel. For one of the Prussian Garde Artillery Field Regiments which IMO is a plus. Nice sword!

Best Regards, Fred

Nice one Ivan, a bit like the triple etched one i have from Alexander.
This one belongs to: 4. Garde-Feldartillerie-Regiment stationed at Potsdam
The Corps was headquartered in Berlin, with its units garrisoned in the city and nearby towns (Potsdam, Jüterbog, Döberitz

I have a sword with "III Garde Wanen Regiment" the guard star and in smaller script towards the hilt it says "Wilhelm Finke Potsdam" and then a bunch of other stuff I can't make out. Then in the other side says "A. Guildenpfenning 5 &" I'm wondering about its history and dates.

There was a Garde-Ulanen-Regiment Nr.3 headquartered in Potsdam. Other than that - without some pictures it's just making guesses about what it is that you have. Best Regards, Fred

Looks like its Ulanen.

Hi CW, I agree with Fred, the sword is from III Guard Ulan (Lancer) Regiment. A very nice private purchase sword from what I can see. It would be interesting to see the whole sword and scabbard with additional photos of any other markings on the hilt, blade and/or scabbard.

Cheers MR
