German Kingdoms - Fusiliers Falchion
Type 3 - Faschinenmesser. This Fascine Knife / Short Sword was used by foot troops of several German Kingdoms of the mid 19th Century. This one is likely Württemberg, Mecklenburg or Saxony. The hilt is cast iron with the tang piercing the pommel and peened over. The guard is marked "3.7.95." which may indicate the date of manufacture: July 3rd, 1895, along with "M" (within a square border) and "V". The other side is marked "157" and the reverse side "7317.". The 19 1/2 inch blade has been cleaned and has surface pitting and is darkened and sharpened. This has unit markings as shown. Sorry no scabbard few survived.
