<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gigi flic, post: 13338359, member: 91293&quot;]Could be. Still new to it, but i noticed a few things that make me think that it may look like a toy, but it doesn&#039;t feel like one.</p><p>The grip is well made, fish skin , shark skin i think, there is a cloth stoper where it touches the scabbard, and the scabbard itself has the &quot;tuning&quot; nob usual on full size swords.</p><p>Got some complete measurements for the blade. 58 cm in length, 15 mm wide and almost 4 mm thick at the spine at the hilt. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/210524847477313/posts/672657934597333/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/210524847477313/posts/672657934597333/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/groups/210524847477313/posts/672657934597333/</a></p><p>There is a nice photo of a cadet here. Different type of sword and the overall length is given as 79 cm and it looks a bit long for the lad. This one is 70.</p><p><br /></p><p>But not sure of much else, other than the fact that the hilt construction seems a lot like some Prussian models</p><p><a href="https://www.ratisbons.com/35th-contemporary-history-auction/2-x-prussia-cavalry-sabres-m1852-etched.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ratisbons.com/35th-contemporary-history-auction/2-x-prussia-cavalry-sabres-m1852-etched.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.ratisbons.com/35th-contemporary-history-auction/2-x-prussia-cavalry-sabres-m1852-etched.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Could be german in origin..hope someone has more imput if its a toy or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
