From the images I’m getting a conflicting estimate of the hilt’s base metal, that said in the Imperial era branches of service such as artillery appliqués were sometimes used with some sabers from the factory (the langets were manufactured with a blank space for an emblem). But this is not one of them (which is also not common). My sense of it not in hand being most likely a post Imperial era saber modified to suit the owner’s desires. Best Regards, Fred

I would agree a probable Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Cie made sabre for Prussian "Kavallerie und Artillerie offizier". I think probably a military outfitter shop retailed private purchase. The addition of the cannons to the langet probably done in shop to suit the buyer. The cannons suggesting an Artillery officer was the buyer. I would say late Imperial (WW1) to Weimar as to the era it was made.
