It's actually a nice Prussian artillery/ Cavalry sabre type, made by WKC. It's an etched private purchase sabre, but based on the grey overpaint I suspect it was carried in the field, but probably post WW1. I say that because of the style of "knight's head" logo that emerged in the 1920's, so I would lean to post-imperial. Also no Imperial motifs visible in the etching. A little bit of grip damage, I would call that character.

Thank you! For future, do you have any tips on how to tell reproductions apart from originals? I’ve read that some reproductions are extremely convincing but I was wondering if there was any way to confirm an original piece or reproduction. Thank you again for the information!

The answer to your question is study, and handling the authentic pieces, and also photographs. That gives experience and tunes your eye to know what to look for. You can't gain that over night, but given time anyone can achieve that level of expertise. Good luck!
