My newest purchase:

I'm a rookie in this topic therefore: definitely a Prussian soldier from a mounted unit.

Can somebody tell me more about the picture?
 
Nice photo but isn't he carrying an M1873 artillery issue Saber similar to the below?

Nice image Markgraf, my vote would be Telegrapher Battalion 2-6. To me it looks like there is a script letter T on his shoulderstrap with an unknown battalion number below.

Ron the 1873 artillery swords were used by a wide variety of mounted, non-cavalry units.

I'm with Larmo, a Telegrapher. But I was thinking Telegraphen-Bataillon Nr.2 or Telegraphen-Bataillon Nr.4 as neither formation had litzen (as in this case).
