hello,
not Prussian at all, to me!
These swords were made on order for different country's...
This must be one of them, just hard to say wich country... for me that is!
I mean, it was found in the basement of a house in Berlin, so I supposed it must come from there originally...?
The sabre was made as Artillerie Offizer Sabre, the owner could be other country or veteran, which You should search the reason of similar engraving on crosspiece, the maker is unknown which made mainly Fireworker bayonets TM under Firehelmet, is well known so the production is to set in late 30ies, it could be Fireworker officer dress sabre. Similar sabres are in tousands avialable still on market, not rare certainly.
Thank you.
Can you tell what price would be reasonable to sell it for?

We don't do evaluations, because it depends on to many factors...
It is Fire service (Feuerwehr) dress sword, Solingen made, though unmarked. The WFP mark is for the distributor/ outfitter so far identified only as "W.F.P." and we know this as some Fire dress bayonets/ faschinenmesser have this helmet logo with "W.F.P." underneath. Likely distributor who also sold Fire Service accoutrements or originally did. This type of sword was used by Fire service officers in Prussia in both the Imperial and Third Reich era, which I can confirm as it is illustrated in my Eickhorn catalogue of 1908 and my WKC catalogue of 1937. So the seller was likely correct in saying a Prussian sword (it has a Prussian type hilt), but it's not a military sword.
