Help with sword. Pls pls pls

Found a sword doing a clean out. It is made by the WK&c Company. It is engraved with a saying , name and the date 1904 On the handle. Blade is not sharp but in it is edged. “ In treue fest”. It has a tassel.

 

I think WK&C were made in Germany or Austria. If you post a photograph people might be able to help ID if it was ceremonial or a military sword.

 

It keeps saying the file size is too big

 

The picture of the sword is my avatar

 

Resize the photographs. If you are using a phone, usually sending the photograph to yourself in an email will work. It will give you the option of small, medium and large. Medium is usually small enough.

 

I believe it was ceremonial because it is not sharp

 

The avatar is too small to see any details.

 

With that knot...a presentation or ceremonial sword is most likely...
But this pic is just not enuf to make a better call.....
that and you must have forgot to tell us what size it is...

 

What komo said plus, some close-ups of details, the markings and of the hilt.

 

Here’s one

 

hummmmm.....so far I'm not liking it for any more than a copy of an earlier sword..

 

In Treue fest would be Bavarian.

 

handle of an artillery short sword....mid 1800's..... ( not verified..)

 

After researching it a while ago I came to the conclusion is possibly a Belgian officer sword. Let me put up the engravement

 

i'd like to see that..

 

There’s another

 

sorry...I'm not seeing what you are seeing.....

 

I think @springfld.arsenal may be able to help.

 

looks like a Bavarian artillery sabre.
they were - and are - not ceremonial, but sharpened only in time of war (Kriegsschärfe).

 

i think i see it now.....
the chrome steel caught me off guard..........
