Standard Heer saber, with etched blade.
Etching looks like Richard Herder style.

I like the looks of it.

Agree with Schlange, a HERDER etch, but have on occasion seen this etched on unattribted blades. Nice score

Thank you for info
why is the blade longer than others?
so the eagle etch is army? It just looked a bit different like another organization
what t is the rarity factor on these, I have nev e r found an etched army degen

[Schlange]

These type of blade is sabre, not degan.
Each Solingen blade manufacturer had different standards for blade and TR eagle.

Blade length depends on the height of owner. Etched army swords are scarce, but by know means rare.

Nice sword in nice condition not a common item IMO.

Dion,

the length of the blade is dependent on the height of the wearer. So the blades can very several inches, I think the longest one can buy now a days through Marlow White is around 31 or 32 inches or it can be shorter. Matt

Have a look at Angolia's 'Swords of Germany' book, p. 43 and you will see a photo of your blade. Very nice!
