Hi,
I have this sword and need to identify it, as well as get an indication how much I can sell it for please?
My initial research, on these forums, suggested it could be a "Preußen Cavalry M52/79 Officer’s Sabre." ?
Where can I sell this beautiful piece for what it is worth?
Thanks for any assistance!

Re: German ceremonial sword identification and selling price help
I am no expert on models of swords. However, it would help if you gave a description of the engraving ie. type it out here, then we could give more definitive information. It looks to me as if the second word is “Train” followed by a Number? Train Battalions brought up supplies to the fighting troops. As such, they dealt with horses so wore cavalry style equipment.

Also, is there a scabbard, makes a big difference in price...

Down the road after you have more info you could advertise it here on the forum. We do have a For Sale section.

Re: German ceremonial sword identification and selling price help
That is an M52, not an issued piece but more a memento, for a member of the Rheinische Train Bat no 9 (? or 8 can't quite make it out). I don't think it's an officer's piece. It does have a maker's mark (I can't tell what it is) but without a scabbard I think the best you could get on ebay would be about $200-250.

I do gave a scabbard but not the original.
