Hello everyone, I found this sword and I need opinions. The seller says it's a german saber model 1930, what do you think? The seller fixed the price in 150$. Thank you for your answers.

If it comes without a scabbard, you have to think if you want a sword without it's scabbard. Certainly it's priced accordingly, but why not save up a bit more money and buy a complete sword with scabbard. As far as future sale of this sword, the market will always price it down. And this type of sword is pretty much entry level. Not a rare sword.
Period literature shows these types of sabers as a "Mannschaftsäbel" - which includes the lower ranked NCO's and ordinary (mounted) enlisted men for wear off duty. The senior grade NCO's authorized (as in the Imperial era) to wear an Officer's model sword. PS: As for the sellers description that it's a "model 1930" it could been made in the 1930's - but no such description was used by the Germans and the actual model of the original issue saber was the Preußischer Artilleriesäbel n/A (M1856).

Thank you all for your answers, I will search for a one with scabbard
