They are the Model M1889 Infantry Officer sword (folding clamshell version). Do the scabbards have one or two rings?
-
And they are both Prussian, a photo of the blade would be nice. You mentioned polished blade, probably nickel plated.

A couple of nice swords, the adoption of a single hanger ring was in 1906 and from 1911, scabbards were painted black, formerly nickel plated. These are standard private purchase swords for a Prussian infantry officer. I have the exact type in my 1905 Eickhorn catalogue. Sword length varied on the height of the officer. So you bought your sword to match your height, there was a formula and a range of lengths were available.

Beautiful swords! I own one of these myself, with a different handguard. (The Version where you cant fold the eagel) I think 200 for each is a very good price, and i would definitly buy them.
The one i own is in awfull condition, and i well overpaid for it, but it has the crest of one of the Nobles of my hometown engraved, so i had to have it...
