Just for clarification, in regards to the dismounted officer sword (the one with pipeback blade and no ears rivets), the changes were the following with scabbards:

1875-1878: upper ring removed and changed with a side-ring
1893: spacing between rings reduced
1899: both rings merged into one

Thanks. So if the two rings are present on the scabbard, that would date the sword between 1867-1874, correct?

Thank you that narrows it down for me.

The later Neuhausen swords are much easier to date because they put the year right there on the ricasso.
