Hi,
It's an Eickhorn Field Marshall saber. Model 1734 Zieten flat knuckle bow. I really like this saber and the 1735 Derfllinger by Eickhorn as well. The flat knuckle guard really ads alot to the hilt. When these sabers have minty gilting, they are some of my favorites. The later aluminum hilted sabers (like yours) typically hold thier gilting a little bit better than thier brass hilted counterparts. Unfortunately I do not have either in my collection. I would like to purchase them in the near future.
