Nice old sword. Just imagine how that blade would have looked when new.

What an amazing find Kekel. More correctly it's an Austro-Hungarian model 1861 officer's sabre. This one's a top of the line private purchase sword, and type used by cavalry and infantry officers. As you say, an etched damascus blade (not uncommon, but extra cost) by Weyersberg & Stamm, an old Solingen name with obvious links to Gebruder Weyersberg of WK & C. This firm seems to have disappeared around 1914. They did also make bayonets for Prussia and Bavaria. Carl Grasser would be the distributor based in Wien. A very nice sword.
